Are we BBs becoming technologically obsolete?

I presume Costa Rica has the advantage of having the show air at the same time, across the country. But just in case the Twitter platform doesn't work out, there's a backup plan.Users of the Twitter microblogging platform in Costa Rica have been tuning in to the local version of the television program “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” since it started airing a couple of weeks ago. With the tag #qqsm (¿Quién quiere ser Millonario?), they have been microblogging about the program, chatting and discussing the questions and even seeking answers to the questions that stump them.
This new initiative has even attracted participation from users of Twitter outside of Costa Rica. Tune in to the programming [es] via web (Tuesdays 8pm Standard Time -0600 UTC), and use the hash tag #qqsm to follow the conversations through twitter.
There are discussions currently to see if the activity will rather move on to a chat platform, since the barrage of updates with the #qqsm tags could get overwhelming for anyone not following the show.
