Here's a quick description of what to expect in the original film:
CNBC correspondent Carl Quintanilla interviews Twitter founder Jack Dorsey about the company's inception, and reports on how law enforcement, journalists and concerned citizens exploited the online service during the Boston Marathon bombing investigation. The documentary explores the culture of gossip and rumor on Twitter that inflamed a scandal at a Connecticut high school, and goes behind the scenes with the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs to see how the NBA's front office, and its biggest stars, use Twitter to drive fan interest.
Quintanilla also profiles young dissidents using Twitter to protest oppressive regimes in the Middle East, and reports on how sending out the wrong tweet can land you in prison.
Sounds pretty cool.
In the meantime, we handed Quintanilla one of our fun questionnaires to get to know a little more about him.
In turns out, Quintanilla wanted to be a radio DJ when he was younger. The Vinyl record collector has some interesting music choices, though. He's into jazz, 80s and Ke$ha (seriously) and he has Justin Timberlake stuck in his head right now.
