I attended and spoke at various Social TV-oriented conferences in the past few weeks, such as the Future of Media Conference at Stanford and TV Next in Boston.
One thing is very clear: the Social TV ecosystem is both increasingly complex and fast moving. Every time I attend a conference, I run into yet more new companies, more entrepreneurs with more creative ideas and more investors looking for the next big thing. That’s exciting – it’s a sign that a brand new market is on the verge of taking off. Reminds me of the early days of the Internet in the mid-90’s.

Proving again the appeal of chatting online while watching TV, the tense end of Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday night set a new record for simultaneous Twitter messages.
As the game ended, Twitter counted 12,233 posts per second, the most for any English language event in the six-year history of the social-networking service. Earlier in the evening, during the halftime performance by Madonna, the site counted 10,245 posts per second. It is widely recognized in the television industry that Twitter and sites like it act as online water coolers where viewers can comment — and read others’ comments — while they are watching. Accordingly, most of the Super Bowl ads on television had either a Twitter hashtag, a Facebook reference or a Web address. Previously, Twitter’s record for an English language event had been the Jan. 8 overtime playoff win by the Denver Broncos, led by the quarterback Tim Tebow, when there were 9,402 tweets per second, according to the company.

Twitter to Play Crucial Role in South Carolina Republican Debate. Televised Republican debates are about to heat up — not only between the remaining five party presidential candidates — but between viewers using Twitter.
Fox News hopes to open up the digital floor for comments during Monday's Republican debate in Myrtle Beach, S.C., with a live Twitter debate. Viewers are encouraged to share their thoughts over Twitter in real-time during Monday's 9 p.m. ET debate. They can use the debate's official hastag #scdebate as well as #answer and #dodge to convey sentiments about individual candidates. Simply attach a candidate's name to #answer — if he has answered the question well — or #dodge — if he has diverted from the topic completely — and the Twitter data analysis system will do the rest. Fox News Digital's Vice President and General Manager Jeff Misenti told The New York Times that questions or concerns attached to these tweets will be incorporated into the conversation.
