I had to double check my calendar to make sure it wasn’t April the 1st before posting about this.
According to the AP, Twitter is working with Reveille and Brillstein Entertainment to develop an unscripted series based on the site. The series will invite brief, 140 character postings from members the world over.
The show will “harness Twitter to put players on the trail of celebrities in a competitive format” - whatever that means.
The producers aim to bring the live interaction of Twitter onto the TV screen.
The series concept was apparently created by novelist/screenwriter Amy Ephron. Reveille and Brillstein aren’t revealing any further details on when the show might air or exactly how it will all work.
