    This puts paid to the intellectual's favorite idea that TV creates "anomie" and "alienation," that it isolates Americans from one another. Wrong. Americans may watch TV alone, but they do so to access a set of shared topics. And not just shared topics but shared languages. We talked to a mother and teenage daughter, people who have a contested relationship of the kind common to adolescence, people who sometimes have difficulty finding one another in conversation. (There are several identity issues at issue, especially "you're not the boss of me.") But when watching the new TV, and characters you can conjure with, certain conversations become possible. Topics once impossible now flourish. Shows were increasing cognition in viewers. In the place of single story line, TV narratives were taking on new complexity. Some shows were even engaging in virtually secret messaging. Only the most dedicated viewers could discover the intricate plotlines. Producers were actually making running gags more complicated and dramatic subtleties more embedded with the kno

Why Twitter Paid $90 Million for Bluefin Labs - Dive Into Media - Mike Isaac - Dive Into Media - AllThingsD - 0 views

  • If you can take [our analytics service] and not just do it about [one event like] the Super Bowl but do it for all TV shows … now you have this comprehensive view into how TV is driving engagement.”
  • Bluefin drills down into specific moments on television, be they advertisements, actual shows or what have you. And Roy says it can grab a larger, more representative slice of the Twitter users tweeting about a specific moment than, say, a hashtag can (as many people may be talking about an event without using a hashtag).
  • Bluefin runs what’s called an affinity analysis, which lets the company figure out “preexisting affinities between TV program audiences and brands.” Moreover, Bluefin can flesh out a profile of a particular Twitter user tweeting in a specific moment, based on that person’s tweeting history.

The Toad Stool by Alan Wolk: The Door To The Second Screen May Be Through The First - 0 views

  • consumers have been slow to adopt any of the tablet and smartphone-based companion apps created for TV. It doesn’t seem to matter much what functionality the apps offer: discovery, additional content, social intercourse or remote control: the number of viewers willing to both download them and then use them on a regular basis has remained quite small*
  • There’s an oft-quoted Nielsen stat about how 84% of people are using their tablets while they are watching TV. Which generally means “checking their email or posting something on Facebook because they’re not all that engaged with whatever’s on TV.”
  • That’s where an actual second screen app may come into play. Both to initiate turning the first screen additional content on and off, and, once it’s up there, to interact with it. (Because for certain types of programming, polls and quizzes are always going to be an option.)

  • I still firmly believe that program guide functionality is what’s going to get the mass of viewers over to the second screen: it’s just easier to control your TV from a touch screen device that already has a built-in keyboard

USA Network Brings Advertisers into Its Social TV Journey - eMarketer - 1 views

  • We’re trying to bring brand advertisers into the conversation. When the Ford Fusion, for example, is integrated into an episode of “White Collar,” it’s then easy for us to promote that positioning or brand integration in platforms like Character Chatter.
  • We don’t want people to view something as an ad, we want people to view it as added content to their “White Collar” show experience.
  • Viewers using the Viggle platform can access interesting plot points, Q&As, live polls—things like that—while watching the show.

  • The term social TV is just going to go away. It’s going to become the way that we all do creative executions across multiple platforms while engaging with users. I also think we are going to see an adoption explosion as cable companies start devising more second-screen companion experiences and the electronic programming guides include some type of visual indicator letting subscribers know of the enhanced program that goes along with the show.

How People Watch TV Online And Off | TechCrunch - 0 views

  • or all the video people watch on the web, it is still a tiny fraction of how much they watch on TV in terms of time spent. In a report put out yesterday on the State of the Media summarizing 2011 data, Nielsen estimates Americans spend an average of 32 hours and 47 minutes a week watching traditional TV. They only spend an average of 3 hours and 58 minutes a week on the Internet, and only 27 minutes a week watching video online. All those billions of videos watched online still only represent 1.4 percent of the time spent watching traditional TV.
  • Even on the web, there is a huge difference between the video sites which attract the biggest audiences and those which are the most engaging. The top 5 video sites by unique visitors are YouTube, Vevo, Yahoo, Facebook, and MSN. But the top 5 video sites by time spent are Netflix, YouTube, Tudou, Hulu, and Megavideo.
