Oh HBO, you know how to take care of Truebies, don’t you? By announcing this morning that you are launching a new feature by which fans can squee and gasp together while watching True Blood every Sunday night, you continue to keep us first and foremost in your thoughts. Thank you!
HBO has launched a new True Blood Twitter Microsite that will provide an enhanced second-screen experience for fans of the show. The microsite uses Twitter to connect True Blood fans to live conversations, while watching new episodes of season 3 every Sunday.
Hosted by Bloodcopy.com, fans can stay connected while watching, as well as some other perks, including:
- feature weekly “hosts” that will live Tweet during each episode on Sunday nights, initiating conversations, interacting with fans and facilitating giveaways. (@TrueBloodHBO will host this Sunday’s premiere);
- chance to win Ultimate Truebie prize packs and unlock virtual badges;
- fans will also have the opportunity to earn “Truebie” and “Maker” badges by Tweeting while they watch and influencing their friends to do the same;
- customized Trending Topics (“Blood Topics”) of the most popular keywords in True Blood Tweets;
- the ability to sort, search and categorize the True Blood conversation;
- full Twitter functionality including sign-in and URL shortener directly from the site;
- and a spoiler alert pop-up screen warning visitors that crucial elements of the show may be revealed.
Excited? Then tell your friends!
