Twitter TV Series?
Twitter could soon be moving from social networking in 140 characters – to a competitive TV series. What the what?
Twitter has teamed with Reveille productions and Brillstein Entertainment Partners to work out a series based on the Twitter site.
While details are still a bit fuzzy, the TV series would involve Twitter, quite possibly tweeting celebs too. Reveille managing director Howard T. Owens says, “Twitter is transforming the way people communicate, especially celebrities and their fans.”
No doubt Twitter is huge (Nielsen reports that unique Twitter visitors increased from 475,000 during February 2008 to 7 million in February 2009… but can it translate to a TV series?
