The way Twitter has gained popularity among masses recently has taken all the social networking websites by shock. Every such networking hub is in struggle of protecting their site from this constantly expanding micro-blogging website Twitter. Now the service goes straight to the television. Very soon, Twitter will be used in a series of fresh television shows officially.

First of all, there is this US game show in which Twitter will play a key role. About this game show, it has been said that it will “harness Twitter to put players on the trail of celebrities.” Now this might be only a rumor, but authenticity is given to it by Variety (which is the hub for TV and film news) that says that makers of “Office” Brillstein Entertainment and Reveille Productions are producing this TV show. Jon Liebman of Brillstein says that it is “a compelling way to bring the immediacy of Twitter to life on TV.” Also, Variety states that novelist/screenwriter Amy Ephron is the one behind the concept of this game show.

Important to note is that the contract for this game show is not exclusive, therefore Twitter can appear in many other shows too. Founder of Twitter Biz Stone said, “Twitter’s open approach might have the power to transform television – the dominant communications receiver worldwide. We’re very excited to see where these experiments take us.” Twitter must be struggling hard to ensure that the service doesn’t collapse with a huge flow of tweets while in the show.
