TWITTER nation is tweeting about an other proposed TV show based on the popular social networking site.
This time it’s a reality series called “Final Tweet” — and this time there’s no visible outrage over incorporating Twitter into its format.
In “Final Tweet,” four teams of “young entrepreneurs,” interacting with their Twitter followers, would battle with non-profit organizations for a $100,000 grand prize.
The teams would travel across the country and live off “limited cash,” according to a report on techcrunch.com — which said the show “looks like a big loser.”
The show was pitched by a company called Through Eyes Productions but hasn’t yet found a network home.
Twitter officials did not respond to an e-mail request for comment yesterday.
In late May, a Twitter-based TV show developed by novelist Amy Ephron enraged actor Ashton Kutcher, a huge Twitter proponent and user of the service, who’s followed by an estimated 1.9 million fans daily.
The unscripted show, co-produced by Reveille Productions and Brillstein Entertainment, would feature “ordinary people on the trail of celebrities in a revolutionary format” — spurring Kutcher’s fears that it would promote celebrity stalking.
He said he “may have to take a Twitter hiatus” if the show came to fruition.
“Um, how about . . . I don’t want to be stalked!” Kutcher wrote.
“It’s all fun and games until somebody gets stalked.”
Kutcher’s wife, Demi Moore, also expressed her disapproval. “Hope this isn’t true — it it is, our Twitter time may come to a quick and sad end!” she wrote.
The show is reportedly still a go, but Twitter officials immediately distanced the service from the planned series.
“Some Hollywood folks are developing something that leverages Twitter . . . We have little to do with their efforts, but wish them success,” it said at the time.
“Just to be clear, Twitter is not making a television show.”
Twitter, founded in 2006, is now one of the biggest Web services around.
In addition to Kutcher and Moore, many other celebrities — including Ryan Seacrest and Kim Kardashian — use the service to “tweet” to their fans.
