TV Genius’ Twitter analytics shows the top twenty shows that were tweeted about in the UK each night. Each top show can be clicked on, which reveals real-time tweets about the show, an episode summary, and a graph presenting how many tweets that show has received over time.
“There is no doubt that Twitter is complementing the TV viewing experience and our own research has shown that new media is increasingly having a direct effect on content discovery as people tune into social graph,” said Tom Weiss, CEO, TV Genius. “TV viewing figures tell us a lot about which shows are the most popular, but they do not give any indication towards people’s opinions and levels of engagement. If they are tweeting about a show, we know they are engaged and that it is relevant to them and not just playing in the background. Our new analytics service enables operators or content owners to learn more about their programming and make strategic decisions based on the knowledge they receive.”
This provides powerful information for TV executives, operators, and producers, and demonstrates a new way to discover popular TV content.
The social TV features will encourage viewers to find new content, and become more engaged, making TV a more social experience. Using TV Genius’ Twitter analysis tools, operators and content owners can quickly and easily implement social TV solutions on connected devices, tablets, mobile phones, and set top boxes to:
- Serve social TV recommendations based on the social graph
- Alert viewers in real-time when a TV show creates buzz on Twitter
- Drive uptake of Video on Demand content
- Create an interactive social TV guide based on what viewers are tweeting about regionally
- Tap into real-time social TV data to create bespoke solutions.
A ResearchNow study, sponsored by TV Genius in September 2010, showed that while traditional media remain dominant over consumer decision making, newer media are also having an emerging influence, especially among the younger generation of ‘Digital Natives’.
TV Genius is already powering the personalised recommendation feature of the ITV Player app for ITV, the UK’s biggest public service commercial broadcaster, on Facebook.
