  • Up until now when users click on a hashtag, they are shown a page littered with tweets which have included that particular hashtag. But in Nascar’s case, Twitter will curate those tweets through an algorithm, and by hand to give users a behind-the-scenes look at the race.
  • consumers who click on the #Nascar hashtag will be directed to a not-yet-live Twitter page that will aggregate tweets and photos related to the race to create what Nascar svp and CMO Steve Phelps called in a statement a “complementary live race experience.”
  •

The Future of Broadcast Media is Social - Brian Solis - 0 views

  • The Golden Triangle will one day soon engender a shared experience across the three screens, but for the meantime, a resurgence of crowd-powered demand for relevance and personalization is leading a groundswell of change and evolution within each medium.
  • The result of the social effect and the integrated social hooks inherent in today’s online networks will only inspire a genre of connectivity and interaction as programming will eventually feature creative triggers that engender desired responses and action. The same is true for any event, whether it’s on air, live, or on the big screen.
  • The water cooler or social effect is only one part of defining a more meaningful experience over time. It is culturally significant as it connects people around common interests in real-time all over the web using events as our participation hub and as our magnet for convergence.

10 Tech Commandments for the TV Industry - 0 views

  •  
    8. Thou shalt hyper-personalize for your viewers Perceptive media may still be a long way from becoming reality, but 'hyper-personalization' (perhaps a clearer description of what perceptive media means) of TV shows based on who's watching could be huge for viewers and advertisers alike. Not seen a show before? Your set-top box will know this and show more of an explanation of what's happened before, while regular viewers get some bonus content for their loyalty. Not a fan of heavy metal? Maybe the soundtrack to the action scene will be automatically changed to something more to your taste without you even knowing. You can read more about the thinking behind perceptive media in our post here.

Reisman on User-Centered Media: Social TV -- The "Killer App" for Coactive TV -- Ready ... - 0 views

  •  
    All of these promising killer apps have synergy with one another. Coactive TV is at heart hypermedia, and thus "everything is deeply intertwingled." (Quoting Ted Nelson, who also coined the terms hypertext and hypermedia.) A truly ubiquitous coactive TV service will be always on, and always aware of a viewer's TV context (except when disabled).

MediaPost Publications At The ANA: Social TV Is 'New Media' 02/17/2012 - 0 views

  •  
    Certainly, the Super Bowl reflected brand interest in turning TV into a mosaic of simultaneous marketing events on different screens designed to engage consumers with brands and with each other. Coca-Cola's polar bears were in the beverage giant's TV spots, but they were simultaneously online during the game, commenting on the game and, in a meta-commentary, on their own ad. Tom Cunniff, VP and director of interactive communications at Combe Incorporated, asked if such multi-screen programs risk splitting people's attention across devices. McHugh agreed that the risk exists, but said that, if the central idea is engaging, it only deepens engagement and attention. "We have seen it; consumers are already fragmenting their attention. What social TV does is to bring the experience to life so we can capture consumer attention more." She argued that if the story is good and engaging, it will involve consumers, no matter how many screens are telling it.
