Nielsen and Twitter Unveil Social TV Metrics, Showing How Little Tweets Line Up with Ra... - 0 views

  • ne thing is immediately clear: There is practically no overlap between the most-tweeted shows on TV and the highest-rated shows.
  • Seen through a Twitter lens, the No. 1 television show for the week of Sept. 23 to 29 was AMC’s “Breaking Bad” by a mile, with 9.28 million people seeing tweets about the show’s finale — but the episode wasn’t even among the top 20 in total viewership for the period, according to Nielsen primetime ratings.
  • But the divergence between the top shows Americans actually watch on TV and what they talk about on Twitter illustrates that there is not a strong correlation, today, between the two mediums. Only one show, two airings of NBC’s “The Voice,” appear in both top 10 rankings.

  • the data shows the Twitter TV audience for an episode is, on average, 50 times larger than the authors who are generating tweets.
  • In its IPO filing, Twitter said the Nielsen Twitter TV Rating will “not directly generate revenue” but said, “we believe (it) will enhance our attractiveness to users and advertisers.”
  • Facebook, which has a total user base more than five times the size of Twitter’s, is playing catch-up to Twitter in trying to provide a similar guide for how social activity on its service relates to TV. Last week, Facebook began sharing weekly data about interactions among U.S. users for about 45 broadcast shows in primetime with ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC and a few other partners.

An Algorithm Knows Who Liked the How I Met Your Mother Finale - Adrienne LaFrance - The... - 0 views

  • The Canvs analysis covered about 185,000 tweets, just a portion of the half-a-million tweets that Canvs identified as being related to the finale. The platform only analyzes tweets it is sure it can interpret accurately, founder and CEO Jared Feldman told me. <div><a href="http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/jump?iu=%2F4624%2FTheAtlanticOnline%2Fchannel_technology&t=src%3Dblog%26by%3Dadrienne-lafrance%26title%3Dan-algorithm-knows-who-liked-the-em-how-i-met-your-mother-em-finale%26pos%3Din-article&sz=300x185&c=72813788&tile=3" title=""><img src="http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ad?iu=%2F4624%2FTheAtlanticOnline%2Fchannel_technology&t=src%3Dblog%26by%3Dadrienne-lafrance%26title%3Dan-algorithm-knows-who-liked-the-em-how-i-met-your-mother-em-finale%26pos%3Din-article&sz=300x185&c=72813788&tile=3" alt="" /></a></div>
  • An algorithm might recognize the word "enjoy" in a tweet that says, I really didn't enjoy the How I Met Your Mother finale, without realizing that the tweet isn't ultimately positive. You can teach a computer to recognize the "didn't" before "enjoy," but that doesn't go far enough, either.
  • The way that 12-year-olds talk about loving Justin Bieber? There's no dictionary on the planet that captures that."

  • Canvs uses an algorithm built on years of more nuanced human analysis known as "supervised sentiment analysis" in the industry. The result, Feldman says, is real-time conclusions at a level of sophistication that previously would have taken hours
  • Canvs reviews months of backdata—what you've tweeted, who you follow, where you're tweeting from—to deduce personal information like a viewer's age, gender, ethnicity, income levels, interests, brand loyalty, and so on.
  • Combine those clues with geolocation, gender, and age data, and Feldman says Canvs can confidently guess someone's income bracket. (These data subsets are smaller than the original 117,000-person cohort because specific information like location and gender aren't available for everyone.)
  • For advertisers, there's a reverse-engineering component to using this kind of data, too. Here's how Feldman puts it: "If I'm McDonald's, it'd be fantastic to know: The people who already care about me, what shows are they obsessed with?"
