Another service has popped up ahead of it and it promises to do the same thing, though a bit differently. But they both protect your sensitive sight from spoiler tweets. You know the tweets we’re talking about, those “ohmygodIcan’tbelievehejustDIED!” tweets that are now ruining your favorite shows! [Foot stomp!]

Back in December, Twitter teamed up with ESPN and Ford to provide embedded replays from football games in posts sent via Twitter.
The replays, which each began with a short promotional clip for the Ford Fusion, were selected by ESPN’s college football editors and promoted by both ESPN and Ford to people not following Ford or ESPN on Twitter, but solid potential followers based on the people they follow and what they tweet about.
The partnership was evidently a success (in fact, ESPN said the video highlights were seen more than 7 million times), because Twitter and ESPN are amping up their joint efforts.
After producing hit films like Soul Food and reality shows for BET and TV One, Tracey Edmonds is looking to conquer the Web. In March, she launched Alright TV, a family- and faith-oriented Web network, after bonding with her Twitter followers.
“Alright TV was born from my social media network, and the daily exchange of positive, inspiring and uplifting messages that I have through my social network,” she told Mediabistro in the latest installment of So What Do You Do?.
“Viewers are hungry for faith-friendly and inspiration programming, and Alright TV has grown mostly through word of mouth, our online followers and within the faith community. We launched on Easter Sunday and already have over half a million views online.”

We KNEW Twitter was coming for you, TV – and we told you so. And now that day has arrived.
In a new partnership announced today, Twitter is officially, aggressively moving to forever flip the Social TV phenomenon by showing that Twitter can (and should) drive conversation on TV – not the other way around.
Kiss your TVs goodbye.
Move over TV! It looks like Twitter is no longer happy playing sidekick in the Social TV equation and wants to be the top dog.
At least, that’s the way it appears if this multi-million dollar deal becomes a reality.
Want to know how to incorporate Twitter into your advertising? Take a look at the latest happenings in social TV and you’re sure to be inspired.
For example, the new TV show The Following is going all out with Twitter interaction, even incorporating Vine into its advertising. If you’re a viewer, check this out for how to win stuff while you watch – and if you’re a marketer, watch and learn, young Jedi.
Late last year, Nielsen announced that it would be teaming up with Twitter to create a new metric based entirely on tweet data.
Under the agreement, Nielsen and Twitter will deliver a syndicated-standard metric around the reach of the TV conversation on Twitter, slated for commercial availability at the start of the fall 2013 TV season.
Good thing: it seems that the close relationship between Twitter and TV is stronger than ever. A new study reveals that more Twitter chatter actually correlates to higher television ratings.
Twitter has stolen away another member of Team Google in an obvious attempt to tick the company off.
Why do we say this? Well, it happened the day after love day (hence demonstrating hate) and THIS guy is a real find. Not that others weren’t, we’re sure they’re quite special and fantastic too, but this guy has “advertising super genius” written all over him – and he has a thing for (talking about) blood-letting. Oooo.
