I concur that reading between the lines it seems fairly obvious this 'Twitter TV show' would have utilised willing celebrity participants - although where the chainsaws fit in with that is anybody's guess. ;) Yes, I think they’ve overreacted and clearly misunderstood (as you say, one hopes) any plans that Twitter might have had (or been associated with), and it illustrates again how the vagueness of this kind of reportage in a real-time environment causes many to leap to conclusions, perhaps justifiably.

A TV show where the formula is to stalk unwilling and unwitting participants doesn't sound like a very smart idea. Especially in California with its stalking laws. That Variety article even suggested it, with "Better watch out Ashton" or something like that. My first impression, after hearing about it, was that they would have celebs sign on to do this willingly and then people would have to figure out where they are. None of the articles I've read so far go into any real detail, so people are reacting based on practically no information. I hope that's all this reaction is - a misunderstanding based on vague reporting. It's nice to see these TV and movie stars chatting to their fans without the PR/security entourage all over the place, flash bulbs going off and attracting a mob of random people shouting for an autograph. It would be a shame to see them leave Twitter. I believe (hope) there might be a misunderstanding causing celeb tweeters to freak out.
