HBO has launched a new True Blood Twitter Microsite that will allow True Blood fans to have live conversations with other viewers while watching new episodes of Season 3 every Sunday. Fans visiting www.bloodcopy.com will find a True Blood-centric destination where they can share favorite moments, view popular topics, win prizes and more.
Weekly “hosts” will be tweeting during each episode, initiating conversations, interacting with fans and facilitating giveaways. During this Sunday’s season premiere, fans will have the chance to win Ultimate Truebie prize packs and unlock virtual badges by tweeting while they watch. Surprise
hosts for future episodes will be announced over the next few weeks. Other features of the microsite include a customized Trending Topics (“Blood Topics”) of the most popular keywords in True Blood Tweets; the ability to sort, search and categorize the True Blood conversation; full Twitter functionality including sign-in and URL shortener directly from the site; and a spoiler alert pop-up screen warning visitors that crucial elements of the show may be revealed.
HBO.com and HBO On Demand are also airing all the True Blood minisodes. Some are hilarious, others creepy. My personal favorite is seeing Bill fending off the unwanted advances of a wedding ring saleswoman in the video posted here. To be fair, he does have an awfully pretty physique.
