Twitter, a micro-blogging service, has earned popularity by leaps and bounds albeit without any concrete business model. These days, Twitter users, fans and the entire web is buzzing with the speculations about an upcoming Twitter TV show. Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter, posted on the official Twitter blog that production companies like MTV, CNN, G4, E! and other independent production houses are looking forward to leverage on Twitter for new projects.
Earlier this month, Twitter reportedly tied up with ABC news to come up with a weekly digital show called NightTLine. The show allows the users to discuss and debate on the news of the day on Twitter.
Twitter has also partnered with Reveille and Brillstein Entertainment to develop an unscripted TV drama with the aim of putting ordinary people on the trail of celebrities in a revolutionary competitive format. Variety reported that Reveille (creators of The Office) and Brillstein Entertainment (creators of Samantha Who) had jointly announced yesterday this project which is project concept of Novelist Amy Ephron.
Stone further stated that Twitter has a 'lightweight, non-exclusive, agreement with the producers' for TV series but denied that there is an official Twitter Show.
Slowly but gradually, we might end up watching Twitter in many new TV shows.
