Mattia Nicoletti's insight:

The first advice is very interesting. It happened to me that a network refused to use Twitter because there were to many people complaining about the show. That was the chance to let them understand that the network cared about them. When you answer to someone he feels gratified and relevant.

Turning the couch potato into a lean TV community member - Social TV lessons from MIT. Biz Financial Post | screen seriality | Scoop.it
The increasing merger of TV and Internet is expanding the universe of viewers outside the realm of the old cable boxes gathering dust in warehouses

Via Gary Hayes
Mattia Nicoletti's insight:

It's all about contents, but in my opinion television set is one of the screens available for contents. 

Gary Hayes's curator insight, May 19, 7:47 AM

Quote "“Television is not a device anymore,” Mary-José Monpetit, lecturer and pioneering work on social, wireless and multi-screen television at the MIT Media Lab, said. “It’s content.”

“If we talk about using the content to create a community then we are using television content to create a community.”

Ms. Monpetit noted that there is a disconnect in the experience viewers have on a television and the experience they have online. While there is a connection forming between television watching and the online world there is still no way of making it a seamless experience.

So instead of creating a traditional interactive television experience, one of her students at MIT created an app to track Super PACs during the last US Presidential election.

Mattia Nicoletti's comment, May 20, 2:17 AM
Gary, in your opinion Mary-José Monpetit refers to tv set or television (contents for television)? because tv set in my idea is one of the available screens. In a transmedial point of view tv screen content tells the leading part of the story but even in this case is just a screen.
Julie Eckersley's curator insight, May 20, 7:26 PM

TV is no longer a device, it is now content around which we can build communiites. I like that thinking @garyhayes

How social media erupted about the cancellations of Happy Endings and Smash
Mattia Nicoletti's insight:

Evaluating tv shows to cancel will become more and more difficult because of the fragmentation of the tv market. Social media will be deeply monitored to understand the sentiment of the fans that could be "used" to endorse other people.

Social TV isn't just about being social

Social TV isn't just about being social | screen seriality | Scoop.it
People who use social media whilst watching TV do so less to socialise and share insights with others than they do to source pragmatic information about programming schedules and show news.
Mattia Nicoletti's insight:

“Globally social media is becoming today’s version of a TV guide for viewers – it is really how they prefer to get their information about the shows they watch”.

Why You’re Addicted to TV

Why You’re Addicted to TV | screen seriality | Scoop.it
Newsweek talks to the creators of today’s most addictive shows about what they’re doing to make sure we just can’t stop.
Mattia Nicoletti's insight:

"We’re living, it seems, in a new age of television: the Age of the Hyperserial. 'Serialized storytelling looms larger than it did in 2003,' says D.B. Weiss, one of the head writers on Game of Thrones.

 

'If you look at the Emmy nominees of 2003—The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, The West Wing, CSI, and 24—only24 really qualifies as strictly serial in nature. Whereas Game of Thrones,Breaking Bad, Homeland—they all qualify. As bingeing becomes possible and commonplace, it’s only natural that shows should start to take it into account.'

 

The bottom line is that binge watching is more than just a business story—more than just a story about new technologies and new modes of distribution. It’s really a story about the science of storytelling itself."
