Now Even a Movie Trailer on Twitter
Paramount Pictures has launched the movie trailer for its film, SUPER 8, from writer/director J.J. Abrams and producer Steven Spielberg, in partnership with Twitter.
This exclusive trailer premiere marks a first for both the studio and the site, says Paramount Pictures. The partnership creates a new viral means of distributing a trailer to fans first on Twitter and allows them to share amongst their peer networks on a global scale.
Although most people are still confused about the real utility of Twitter, they are using it mostly as part of a directionless herd to report about their trivial concerns – from coffee preferences to constipation pains – in which others are hardly interested.

But Paramount is Paramount. It can’t afford to ignore any publicity channel. Now the company is syncing its Twitter account with Facebook to connect the conversation between the two social media platforms.
