"Cult," a creepy-looking drama on The CW, ranked first on a Social Index from
Networked Insights, a social-media analytics company that advises brands and
agencies on media planning. The index considers post volume and sentiment as
well as other factors in chatter across Facebook, Twitter, forums and blogs.
"Cult" follows an investigative journalist trying to find his paranoid
brother, who went missing after becoming afraid that a hit TV show was out to
get him.
However much social traction it gets, "Cult" may have a tough time achieving
big traditional TV ratings because it appears on one of the smaller networks and
will arrive in mid-season instead of the fall, when attention is higher.
"The Mindy Project" on Fox, "The Carrie Diaries" on The CW, "The Following"
on Fox and "Revolution" on NBC round out the top five new series on Networked
Insights' Social Index.
On a network-by-network basis, buyers interested in shows' social potential
should consider "666 Park Avenue" on ABC, "Vegas" on CBS, "Cult" on CW, "The
Mindy Project" on Fox and "Revolution" on NBC, Networked Insights said.

Smartphones are on a fast track to become the primary device for both creating and consuming digital content. According to the Pew Internet for the American Life Project, already a full 31% of Americans who own internet-capable phones browse the web primarily from their phones. These numbers are actually higher in emerging markets. What's more, there are at least three other factors at work here. First, images are global. They eschew all language and cultural boundaries. Photography is the only true universal medium. Nothing comes close. Second, images are distributable. The bandwidth required to transmit photos is minimal, yet the opportunities for quick, creative expression are plentiful. As of this writing, Apple's App Store alone has over 10,000 iPhone apps in its photo category -- many of them for editing. Photoshopping has been democratized. Finally, images are digestible. You can glance at a picture for as short or as long as you want. Photos are a non-linear, shared consumption experience. The same can't be said for video or even text.
