NEW YORK (AP) – Simon Cowell doesn’t use Twitter but he wants "X Factor" fans to use the site to vote for their favorite contestants.
The Fox show announced Tuesday that beginning Nov. 2, fans can cast a ballot by sending a direct message over Twitter to the official "X Factor" account. Viewers can also cast a ballot on the show’s Facebook page and official website.
Cowell says "it’s a sign of the times" to incorporate social media and believes more people will vote that way.
Votes can also be sent the old fashioned way, by making a phone call or sending a text message and by using a special App created for Verizon Android devices.
Cowell says he plans to start using Twitter once he learns how to type faster.
