LOS ANGELES -- Break.com, the leading video entertainment website for guys, today announced the premiere of Tweet Boxx, a weekly online web series that will discuss, dissect and diss all things that makes us laugh, cry and scratch our heads about social media phenom Twitter. Created by the Break Media’s Creative Lab, the show is hosted by Mike Polk, star of the popular web series Man In The Box.
“Never has so much been written, said and discussed about the power of 140 words,” said Keith Richman, CEO of Break Media, which operates Break.com. “We think Twitter has risen to a place in the technosphere that it deserves a weekly show that laughs about and muses about all that is said and discussed on Twitter by the famous and not so famous.”
Tweet Boxx will feature Polk as host and writer who joined the Break team from HBOLabs, which was acquired last year by Break Media. At HBO, Mike produced music videos seen by more than 15 million viewers and established the office comedy “Man in The Box”, of which HBO produced more than 150 episodes.
