Earlier this week, as I was watching the debate on television, and my Twitter stream simultaneously, (and laughing harder than I have since SNL was funny thanks to mtlb), I realized that for the Twitterverse, television is relevant in a new way. I experienced the same thing during the SuperBowl, the Oscars, and other significant televised events.
This is an opportunity. Someone needs to produce television that I can add my own Twitter sub-titles to. Why couldn't a broadcast be streamed, and then allow a user to choose the Twitter buddies that appear as sub-titles? Every cable channel in the world is looking for a way to interact with the audience they're losing....let's produce this together.
We'll call it TweeVee. It will be huge. Where's my VC money?

This is a fantastic idea.
The best part of the debate the other night was reading friend's twitters.
And yeah, I nearly choked laughing at mtlb's comments.
Brilliant concept. Do it. I want in.
Howdy
what a brilliant Idea.
Im a twitternosetoo, and i love.
Thats why - im your def. watcher:)
Hey, man... a seriously, ridiculously, big time idea. Really good.
I'm in. Lemme know when you want to fund this thing (though maybe a level below VC-type dollars!).
MTV used to do some version of this. Viewers sent e-mails or texts and they'd appear on-screen while the videos were running or while live performances were broadcast. I think they might have had a Valentine's Day tie-in too. But that was a while ago.
The key would be to limit it so you only saw tweets from people you knew or followed (which I think is part of your idea). Otherwise you're overwhelmed messages like "Pete Wentz is soooo hottttt!"
I think we should ask the TWITTERER IN CHIEF!!!
