Sponsors

We are presently looking for sponsors to support BT Entertainment and help it grow.

Breaking Tweets Entertainment represents an exciting opportunity for organizations seeking to reach a niche audience of people interested in entertainment. The site specifically targets the 18 to 30-year-old demographic of entertainment enthusiasts across the world.

Breaking Tweets Entertainment is a part of the Breaking Tweets Network. In its first month alone, Breaking Tweets had visits from 100 countries and it continues to grow exponentially. It is being indexed well by Google and often appears in top search results for the news it covers plus the word "tweets." The site is also marketing itself through Twitter and Facebook and gets new traffic from these sites everyday.

Those interested in becoming a sponsor or advertiser can contact Breaking Tweets Entertainment through our Contact page.

About

Breaking Tweets Entertainment was founded April 20, 2009 as an affiliate site of Breaking Tweets. In contrast to Breaking Tweets, which focuses on world news, BT Entertainment compiles the latest entertainment news and Twitter feedback on that news.

BT Entertainment will cover four main areas of the industry: television, music, movies, and celebrities. Content will include reviews, reactions, controversies, concerts, award shows, castings, and appearances/sightings.

Tweets are manually selected by editors and arranged to tell a story in a journalistic style, including transition paragraphs. Tweets are essentially treated as quotes. Those with pictures, videos, and/or eyewitness accounts from the scene are priority, while tweets with instant reaction to the news will also be selected.

Sites on the Breaking Tweets Network seek to prove the value of Twitter as both a breaking news source and journalistic platform.
