X Factor Viewers Will Be Able To Vote Via Twitter

Social media has changed much of the internet and the way people utilize the internet. The hit series X Factor has recently announced that their viewers will be allowed to vote via Twitter. Voting for the final twelve will start next week- they must follow @XFactorUSA to be eligible to vote on that website. Other voting options include their official website, Facebook page, and text messages.

The show’s content director Chloe Sladden explained in further reason about why they chose to incorporate social media:

The X Factor has raised the bar for innovative television with its use of Twitter to create a 360-degree experience around the show’s judges, finalists and viewers. Fans flock to Twitter during live television events and have been voicing their opinions with Tweets for years. We’re thrilled to see the creators of The X Factor push the envelope further by being the first television show to formalize this phenomenon through Twitter voting.

It’s really not surprising that X-Factor fans are allowed to vote for their favorite singers on the web. American Idol and The Voice already use their official websites as a voting area. Are you a fan of this show? Who are you going to vote for?
