Twitter and Television
By: Nick Hantge
There has been some buzz about Twitter having its own TV show, as of right now there has been no official announcement by twitter. They have already had a noticeable impact on television on TV stations such as CNN and E! who were the early innovators of twitter.
If you have not noticed already, during their programs they have tweets running across the bottom of the screen to correlate with the program they are running. Larry King allows people to respond to his interviews through tweets during his show and the E! channel runs celebrities’ tweets to inform watchers of celebrity gossip during their news shows. This kind of interaction is going to open a whole new road for Twitter and it’s users.
Although there have not been any plans as of yet for a Twitter television show, I believe something will be in the works by the end of the year. I am not sure how they have built up their popularity so rapidly but the power they have come upon is pretty insane!
