Twitter Gets Psychic With 'Tweance'

With all the celebrities who died this year, the pickings will be ripe

Share

(Newser) – It was only a matter of time before even the dead celebrities found a way to overshare on Twitter. The microblogging site will play host to the world’s first online séance—dubbed the “Tweance”—the day before Halloween, the Sun reports.

Psychic Jayne Wallace, who famously contacted dead British reality star Jade Goody in August, will choose four celebrities based on votes from Twitter users, then post their answers to her questions on the official “Tweance” Twitter stream for users to follow in real time.

The same people who find it fulfilling to tell the world the minutia of their lives, I'd guess.
