The document discusses how Twitter is changing how people watch television. Some key points:
- Many people now use their phones/tablets while watching TV and tweet about shows live or after they air
- Different types of shows lead to different Twitter behaviors - ongoing series see year-round discussion while one-time events spark discussion during and after the airing
- Networks are now aware of the role Twitter plays and are using it to build interest, aid discovery, encourage fan engagement, enable real-time participation, and gather feedback about programming

52. I use amazon prime more and more, and bounce in and out of Hulu+
My guess is <30 years old = Net鍖ix, Hulu only. No cable.
Amazon Prime has a lot of video content, but it's so similar to what's available on
Net鍖ix and I don't buy enough stuff on Amazon I need in two days that I probably
won't buy it again.
Net鍖ix's catalog has dwindled to the point that continued subscription, once a no-
brainer, is unlikely.
The exclusive licensing agreements on the networks is the largest problem I have. I
hate watching back seasons on Net鍖ix but current seasons on Hulu+, e.g. Castle.
I hate that Hulu+ still has ads though.
I pay Time Warner for internet, but adding cable would triple my bill.
I can tolerate advertisements for daily fresh content.
Virtually all television programs suck.
Most of my TV watching revolves around my kids and sports. For them, Net鍖ix is
more than enough and I use MLB.tv to get live(ish) baseball streaming.
