Twitter's CEO Dick Costolo is in talks with NBCU and Comcast for the new "See It" feature. — Twitter’s CEO Dick Costolo is in talks with NBCU and Comcast for the new “See It” feature.

NBCUniversal announced last month that they have partnered with Twitter to bring television to the booming social media platform. Expected to begin this month, Comcast engineers created a new feature that will be available to millions of Xfinity customers called “See It.” Twitter users will be able to access TV shows, movies, and sports directly from a tweet, which will give them the option to “See It.” In addition, customers can set their DVR or even buy theater tickets through Fandango. The technology will cover the various NBCU networks including NBC, CNBC, USA, Syfy, Bravo, Oxygen and E!.

This partnership comes amid Twitter’s move towards being the social media platform for television. Twitter compliments the live viewing experience, which has lured Comcast into drawing up a deal. Comcast wants “See It” to be an instant online remote control, which they hope will get the audience even more engaged with what they are watching.

This partnership also brings to light a new forum for advertising. They are hoping that NBCU’s advertising clients will see the benefit of “See It” and lead them to expand their TV and digital sponsorships to Twitter. Comcast and Twitter are already in talks with distribution partners and television networks to use this “See It” feature to promote their content.

Madison, Josh and Josh are back for Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles which premiered its 6th season on August 7.

Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles is back just in time for the summer. The reality show returned for its sixth season on Bravo after first premiering in 2006. The trio of real estate agents Madison Hildebrand, Josh Flagg and Josh Altman are ready to lay down the law as they take care of some of the biggest real estate deals in Los Angeles. The real estate ranges between Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Malibu, and there isn’t a single property that we wouldn’t kill to live in.

The hit Bravo show chronicles the professional and personal lives of three extravagant real estate agents as they sell high-end Los Angeles properties. The show also gives viewers a tiny glimpse into the world of high-priced real estate in LA. The real estate agents get into drama with each other and with their rich but crazy clients, all while selling multi-million dollar homes.

The series created the spin-off, Million Dollar Listing New York which premiered in March of 2012. Bravo has another similar television show Flipping Out and Interior Therapy which both star Jeff Lewis, an eccentric real estate guru who is great at what he does. Flipping Out premiered in 2007 and will be starting its 7^th season later this year. Interior Therapy is relatively new having only premiered last year, but they are already preparing for its 2^nd season later this year.
