The fun is that viewers are watching more live TV than ever before, driven by social networks on our companion screen where we can give and view others opinions. During the 2011 Oscars, there were over 10,000 tweets per minute with the event racking up 1.8 million tweets overall. TV Genius has been tracking all the TV shows that people tweet about in the UK. We collected data on each show that received at least one tweet per minute during the live broadcast. A screenshot of some of the shows people tweeted about is below.  .

The original Article is here and worth a full read and the comments http://behind-the-enemy-lines.blogspot.com/2011/04/want-to-improve-sales-fix-grammar-and.html During research they have noticed is that the quality of the reviews can have an impact on product sales,  independently of the polarity of the review . A review that is well-written tends to inspire confidence about the product, even if the review is negative. They noticed that demand for a hotel increases if the online reviews on TripAdvisor and Travelocity are well-written, without spelling errors; this holds no matter if the review is positive or negative. An online retailer noticed that indeed products with high-quality reviews are selling well. So, they decided to take action. They used Amazon Mechanical Turk to improve the quality of its reviews.

Experts suggest that the Epsilon email breach actually took place in late March and we become aware of it in Early April through traditional media. Here is the full(est) list of companies who were affected. However, why do companies such as Capital One to Verizon hire Epsilon? Given the regulation and technical complexity relating to personal data storage and permission email it would appear that there is an economies-of-scale argument from having a specialist; but here is the rub, it introduces a single point of failure.

Commissioned by Remember a Charity, the research found that 80 per cent of people own digital assets, but only nine per cent have thought about passing them on when they die. The study, which polled 2,000 people, found that: – over half of respondents (56 per cent) said they have a digital music collection, with 45 per cent valuing it at over £100 and 10 per cent at over £1,000. – A third of people own smartphone apps (34 per cent) with 20 per cent saying their collections are worth over £100. To help people plan how to pass on their digital assets, Remember a Charity has produced a checklist that can be downloaded from its  web site . ----- If you want to join in the debate on this topic there is http://digitaldeathday.com/ and is run by my NA friend Kali
