Twitter may be coming to a television near you according to the Hollywood Reporter. Reveille and Brillstein Entertainment Partners have announced they have partnered with the social-networking and micro-blogging service to develop the first TV series that incorporates Twitter into the action of the show.
The series is created by novelist Amy Ephron, sister of Nora and Delia Ephron, It will feature ordinary people competing while on the trail of celebrities. The Hollywood reporter wrote that the untitled series will be executive produced by Reveille managing directors Mark Koops and Howard T. Owens, Brillstein CEO Jon Liebman and Lee Kernis, Ephron, Kevin J. Foxe and Steven Latham.
"Twitter is transforming the way people communicate -- especially celebrities and their fans," Owens said. Some people feel that the introduction of celebrities has compromised Twitter, others feel that it has given it more exposure. Perhaps both are right but this will certainly take the exposure a step further.
