Nightline, ABC's late-night news program, is using a simple but powerful format to integrate Twitter messages into the show.

The Twitter fever is spreading rapidly around the world. Recent events such as the Mumbai terror attacks and the unrest following the Iranian elections have shown that social networks are an important source for breaking news. ABC used a setup including a Perceptive Pixel screen powered by a Viz Engine to integrate Twitter feeds into the show.
