Video If the internet was considered a wave, mobile is a tsunami. And now's the time, as marketers, to jump in and start to shape where mobile goes next - especially with Social TV.

It’s become common practice for a show to casually toss a hashtag in the corner of the TV screen, but the tricky part is figuring out what comes next. The Voice and NBC have involved Twitter so heavily in the viewing experience that the end result is a fully integrated, interested, and engaged audience for advertisers and brands to reach.

Agree- The Voice seems to have mastered Twitter and Second Screen:
Not many networks do social media as well as NBC has with The Voice. It’s become common practice for a show to casually toss a hashtag in the corner of the TV screen, but the tricky part is figuring out what comes next.

For all of the attention that Second Screen has received lately, there has yet to be any products developed for the space that has pushed the movement mainstream. Via Nicholas Barr 
Nicholas Barr's curator insight,
April 17, 9:10 AM
There are some good points in this article and it’s interesting to think of second screens as an 'emerging mobile vertical'. It is worth adding though that in addition to boredom, enforced viewing i.e. a partner watching a show you’re not interested in triggers second screen use. However, neither of these use cases is likely to result in true second screen usage i.e. activities integrally related to primary screen content. The existing second screen behaviour that really created this emerging space is the need for discovery: finding content to watch; finding information related to what is being watched; and finding out what others think about it.
This presents two big challenges for second screen app developers:
1) To make the discovery route second nature. Consumer will take the path with least resistance. This requires apps to be as intuitive as possible with the least number of hurdles that may distract from viewing.
2) Currently the easiest route to content discovery is the traditional Remote Control Device (RCD); for related information it is Google, Wikipedia or IMDb searches and for social validation it's the likes of Facebook and Twitter. Modifying ingrained user behaviours may be difficult.
Fragmentation is an issue. Chuck Parker, chair of the Second Screen Society currently has over 70 second screen apps on his tablet and is tracking over 130 more. Clearly this is an increasingly crowded market. In an in-depth industry report Chuck predicts that this will continue, marked by consolidation, failure and improved user experiences.
Increasing there are calls for some levels of standardisation, which can often be seen as signs of a technology maturing.
Healthy debate exists around the merits of show specific apps versus umbrella apps owned by networks or the likes of zeebox. There are advantages for show specific apps. However, the problem is that when the show ends the audience is lost - think NBC's Olympics app. Fox have now consolidated multiple shows into the Fox Now second screen offering.
Earlier this year, Hardie Tankersley at Fox said in an Engadget interview "We're investing just enough to be in the game and to try to learn something about it." However, this does not mean Second Screen is something that is added on as an afterthought. As Tankersley says, "For a produced show like Bones or New Girl, it starts with the origin of the script. When the first script comes in we start planning with the show what the second screen content is going to be, what the merchandise that we'll sell is going to be and it gets developed in that writers room."
Hopes of a transmedia heavy future for television where viewers can choose their own ending are unlikely to be realised. All that extra content to provide different paths costs money to produce. It doesn't really sit well with the lean-back behaviours associated with TV viewing so is an experience best left to games developers who have a proven audience and means of monetisation.

Mike Proulx, the guy who wrote the book on social tv -- explains what's changed lately in a conversation with Simon Dumenco.
In February of last year, Mike Proulx and his co-author Stacey Shepatin published the book "Social TV: How Marketers Can Reach and Engage Audiences by Connecting Television to the Web, Social Media, and Mobile." As senior VP and director of digital strategy at Hill Holliday, Mr. Proulx knows what he's talking about -- and, in just a few weeks, he and a few hundred other social-TV obsessives will talk even more about where the industry is headed. The third edition of Hill Holliday's annual TVnext Summit, an event Mr. Proulx created, is coming up on April 29 in Boston.
As the event approaches, Ad Age's Media Guy Simon Dumenco spoke with Mr. Proulx as part of the ongoing Dumenco's Media Peopleseries of in-depth interviews. What follows is an edited version of a longer conversation. Simon Dumenco: Talk to me about what's changed in the social-TV space since the publication of your book -- other than everything.
Mike Proulx: The biggest change we predicted was that consolidation was going to be the theme for 2013, and that certainly has come true. In Chapter 5 in the book, we talked a lot about the social-TV analytic space, and since the release of the book Nielsen bought SocialGuide, and Twitter bought Bluefin Labs, so that leaves an interesting landscape where you have Trendrr as really the only independent social-TV analytics company now.
Dumenco: I have to say that I was surprised how quickly Bluefin sort of disappeared into Twitter's maw. After the acquisition, Bluefin employees almost immediately got Twitter email addresses and now they're essentially just part of the marketing department of Twitter -- because the ex-Bluefinners' jobs now involve proving the efficacy of Twitter, basically.

Great presentation! Confused by description of IM in "What it's not." Transmedia stories (in marketing esp.) also rely on psychological transportation into and emotional engagement with an imagined 'world' alongside brand to link story and brand essence; i.e. ultimate story arc resolution is integration of brand in consumer's mind. Great transmedia story experience may not translate into brand awareness or liking. Story enhancements can provide sparks or entry points into projection and identification with brand.

What began as a natural phenomenon — you see something on TV, you say something on Social Media — has the attention of every TV exec these days.
That wasn’t quite as true a year ago. From record engagement to major campaigns to multi-million dollar acquisitions, there’s no question that Social TV has a future. Nobody is clear on what that is, but the point of this post is to look back. Here is my list of 10 important moments for Social TV. It’s far more idiosyncratic than scientific, and surely I missed something big and good, but it offers a glimpse how much happened in this critical year for the space. Feel free to add to the list. (Just a few notes first: I did not factor in app roll-outs, per se, although two new arrivals were important beyond the app technologies. And I’m not looking at brand campaigns, though there were many excellent ones, including the Voice, Nissan, True Blood’s #makersday and many more.) 10. Twitter hires Fred Graver as “head of TV” (read Ad Age) This was fairly quiet news, but everyone already knows Twitter became the king of Social TV without really trying that hard. Graver, a longtime TV exec, is helping the company become a more purposeful trailblazer. ”There’s a whole ecosystem being described here,” he told Ad Age, “and we’ve only begun to map out that frontier.” 9. American Idol’s finale scores big (read Bluefin Labs) By the time American Idol drew 1.4 million Social Media comments for its May finale, the overall trend of greater engagement was already clear. What amazed people was American Idol set the Social TV record for biggest finalewhile dropping in the Nielsen ratings from the year before. 8. Shazam enters Social TV With a quarter-billion users and big-time brands as partners, Shazam entered Social TV with a bang. First it was the Super Bowl. Then it was the Olympics. Then Shazam settled into every day TV. Scan for a song while watching TV and you’re getting the message that Shazam wants to be a player. 7. CNN wins the Social TV election war (read Forbes) Both on election night, and throughout the campaign, CNN won the Election 2012 Social TV battle over its cable and broadcast opponents. It was a reminder that the cable network is still a big digital player. 6. MTV VMAs catch The Grammys (maybe) In what was arguably the most sophisticated Social TV integration yet, MTV landed in the #2 all-time slot for mentions, or #1, depending on who was counting. It confirmed two things: 1) MTV is awesome at Social TV; 2) There is no standard for Social TV measurement … yet. 5. The Grammys grab 13 million mentions (read Forbes) The Grammys’ Social TV numbers were more remarkable, however, because no one saw them coming. Surpassing the Super Bowl and all expectations (including those who measure Social TV), the show had one last surprise: It wasn’t necessarily the Whitney Houston tribute that drove the chatter. In fact, the Twitterverse relatively quiet during that section of the show. Read the rest of the story at http://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelhumphrey/2012/12/13/social-tvs-top-10-moments-for-2012/.

Second screen viewing, which refers to using an additional electronic device while watching television, is a widespread consumer behavior that has quickly become the norm.
In an attempt to better understand this trend, Viaccess-Orca has analyzed second screen usage amongst diverse populations of television viewers. The results, which appear in this infographic, demonstrate the extent to which second screen viewing is altering the TV industry. According to our data, 70% of tablet owners, and 68% of smartphone owners, state that they use their additional devices while watching TV. However, only 37% of those who practice second screen viewing do so in order to look up information that is related to the program they are watching. Most TV viewers use their devices in order to check emails or visit a social network... Via Lauren Moss, มานะ ตรีรยาภิวัฒน์ Delete the scoop?

Quote "The second screen experience slowly replaced the first — I barely looked up at the television. CBS’s reverent, almost whispered coverage took a back seat as I programmed my version of the Masters. The function that would have allowed me to throw the Internet coverage to my big-screen television was not enabled, but that’s only a matter of time. Change often comes very slowly, but then happens all at once. CBS paid dearly for rights to the Masters, marketers ponied up to advertise in limited spots and my cable provider paid a hefty toll in terms of retransmission fees, but there I was, staring at the device on my lap, looking at a bright future — no cable, no commercials, no bundle required.

The aim, the company says, is to take today’s fast-growing but chaotic landscape of TV “companion” apps – such as ones delivering athlete stats to people watching the Olympics, or crime-fighting details to CSI junkies—and make it easier to create and see such additional content.
The Akamai proof of concept—shown for the first time to MIT Technology Review last week—consists of a few parts. The first is a piece of software that would reside on whatever device you use, whether it’s a television set fed by a cable or satellite service, a set-top box delivering content over the Internet, or even a DVR playing a recorded show. A one-time authentication process links your tablet or smartphone to the device.
Real-time information on what show you’re watching—even as you change the channel—gets sent to Akamai’s servers. Relevant secondary information then gets streamed directly back to your smartphone or tablet in near real-time. Via Nicolas Weil, Ludovic Bostral, Raffaele Nappi
