I was puzzled for a few seconds. A real anchor wouldn't take a comedian anchor as a partner. Nor would a cooking show anchor.

But then I recalled that Kelly used to have a partner who retired recently. A guy named Regis somethingorother...

Never heard of this but it makes the most sense. Exactly what, though, does one get for a "Tweet Seat"?

Interactive content, apparently.

The National Symphony Orchestra was one of the earliest orchestras to deliver real-time program notes via Twitter during its performance of Beethoven's Sixth conducted by Emil de Cou at Virginia's Wolf Trap Center for the Performing Arts in July 2009.

The Indianapolis Symphony has also experimented with tweeting sections, adding social media to traditional modes, such as pre-concert lectures and program notes. The Indianapolis Symphony has tweet seats for its one-hour "Happy Hour at the Symphony" concerts geared to young professionals, said Jessica Di Santo, the orchestra's director of communications.

The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra (CSO) began using tweet seats in September. Chris Pinelo, CSO vice president for communication, said it was successful based on heavy hashtag traffic.

"It was great to see how people were reacting to the orchestra, reacting to the conduct and, frankly, reacting to the insights happening backstage," he said. "We've had some repeat visits from people who came to the tweet seats. I think they really enjoyed the process, too, and having that interaction with audience members."

Because sitting quietly and listening is sooooo 20th century!
