@CBSTweet is the official twitter account of the CBS Television Network

If it's only for one week, then this is just a social networking publicity stunt.
-
Nope, it has nothing to do with social networking, it is CBS and the drive for ratings. Read mswood's description of the new way of calculating ratings in that thread.
-
Actually, this is inventive on CBS' part. They actually came up with a different way to use Twitter. Don't forget that it was Phil using his Twitter account to announce a renewal a couple of years back, even before the industry dailies could pick it up and post it.
And each one of the scheduled Tweets are during that show's broadcast time on the east coast.

That's what bothers me...tweet away the hour after, but let me watch in peace!
