Concept
According to reports, the television show would challenge ordinary Twitter users to follow the trail of the many celebrities on Twitter, in a competitive format. Although not many details were immediately released, Jon Liebman of Brillstein Entertainment stated that "We've found a compelling way to bring the immediacy of Twitter to life on TV."Variety: Twitter, Brillstein Develop TV Series -
Reactions
After the news of the proposed show circulated, many were apposed to the idea, including several high priority celebrity users. Actor Ashton Kutcher, who beat CNN in a contest to become the first to amass over one million followers on Twitter, vowed to stop using the service if such a show was created. He posted messages stating "It's all fun and games until somebody gets stalked" and "Wow I hope this isn't true. I really don't like being sold out. May have to take a twitter hiatus."CNN: Kutcher Threatens to Stop Twittering Other celebrity Twitter users, including Alyssa Milano, Demi Moore, Kevin Spacey and Adrianne Curry also expressed their concerns over the proposed show.Twitter: Alyssa Milano Twitter: Kevin Spacey Twitter: Demi Moore Twitter: Adrianne Curry -
