Despite the rumors that were running rampant around the web yesterday, Twitter now denies that there is a potential TV show in the works.

Twitter’s Biz Stone has, however, confirmed that Twitter did in fact enter into an agreement with Reveille and Brillstein for a Television show, but states that this is not an “official” Twitter show.  It’s a non-exclusive contract with several different companies working on TV projects related to Twitter.

So basically, the company is letting production companies work on Twitter shows, but Twitter itself  will not endorse any one of them.

It’s a good thing, because Ashton Kutcher was threatening to stop using Twitter if it launched a TV show.  Now his record 2 million followers can rest easy.

We will wait and see what develops, however, as this story has interesting implications down the road.

From the Twitter blog…

Is There An Official Twitter Show?

There is no official Twitter TV show—although if there were it would be fun to cast! In dealing with networks and production companies we sometimes have simple agreements. Regarding the Reveille and Brillstein project reported today, we have a lightweight, non-exclusive, agreement with the producers which helps them move forward more freely.
