If you thought the obsessive minutiae of microblogging was annoying, wait until it hits the small screen. Variety reports that Twitter has been in talks with Reveille and Brillstein Entertainment, the same production company that launched TV hits "Ugly Betty" and "The Office," to create a program based on the Web service. The show has been described as "putting ordinary people on the trail of celebrities in a revolutionary competitive format." Sounds like the glorification of stalking to me.

According to the Twitter blog, Twitter has chatted with other media execs regarding television programs, but the project that's getting the headlines has resulted in "a lightweight, non-exclusive, agreement with the producers which helps them move forward more freely." This likely means that Twitter won't be hands-on with the project, and, hopefully, the show won't be entirely based on a service that's appropriately being called a fad.
