On Twitter, You Get Closer To The Characters And Shows You Adore, As Stars, Writers, Directors, Stories Anchors And More Live-Tweet From In The Background.
Twitter is transforming the way in which we watch Television. Reading and writing Tweets has become the new water cooler, helping us connect in realtime around our favourite shows, competitions and events. On Twitter, you get nearer to the characters and shows you adore, as stars, writers, directors, news anchors and more live-tweet from behind the scenes,you can see that in twitter pictures.
And now things are getting even more exciting for Twitter and Television and more specifically fans of The X Factor USA. We’ve partnered with the show so that starting the week after next, you can cast votes for your favourite contestants via Twitter. Fans have taken to Twitter during live TV events to voice their views with Tweets for years . Now you can officially affect the outcome of the show by voting for which contestants should stay and which have to go.
To vote, follow TheXFactorUSA. Then submit your vote through a Direct Message (a personal way to communicate on Twitter) so as not to spoil the results . All votes are sent straight to The X Factor to be counted. Tweets don’t count as votes.
The simplest way to vote is by visiting twitter.thexfactorusa.com. We are also featuring Tweets from the judges, the host and the final contestants to get inside every angle of the action. You do not have to hang about for voting to start though. Join the conversation with other X Factor fans today with XFactor and tell Simon what you think he is listening!
