@RealtimeReport: Lisa Hsia says realtime social tv has really paid off for @Bravotv #RLTM

@AmyVernon: Did polls, a “Tweet heat” realtime competition on Real Housewives. #rltm
@SocialFlow: Paying attention to those who watch and tweet– @bravotv has highest level of “dual screen” viewing. #RLTM
@AmyVernon: Fans seemed to want access to talent AND to each other. @BravoTV #rltm
@AmyVernon: People like to see their name and comment on-air. They’d tweet about it, then you’d get a surge of traffic. #rltm
@AmyVernon: 40% of mobile users tweeting with the hashtag weren’t watching, but rather wanted to catch up & find out what was going on. @BravoTV #rltm
@AmyVernon: For TV, the holy grail is still ratings. That’s where the $ is. But last season of Real Housewives, ratings grew 10% due to realtime #rltm
@MrShri: @AmyVernon I think seeing your name on any media is a validation like no other. @BravoTV #rltm
@AmyVernon: When the iPad came out, the idea a “co-viewing app” was born. You watch while you watch. Where’s Xzibit? #rltm
@AmyVernon: .@BravoTV – track all tweets relating to all shows, characters, hashtags, all the time. #rltm
@TheRealCherylM: Wow, v impressed with @bravotv – love the Tweet Tracker #RLTM
@nwjerseyliz: #RLTM Importance of acknowledgement (companies RTing user comments) that rewards viewers who are talking about shows.
@AmyVernon: .@BravoTV offers fans the hashtags to use to help track the convo. #rltm
@nwjerseyliz: #RLTM Really impressive tools @BravoTV has set up for social TV viewing and viewer interaction. Almost too much to absorb.

@rachellevi: . @bravotv shows are events #rltm
@TheRealCherylM: Wow, MTV Awards got 1M tweets before the show even aired… #RLTM
@AmyVernon: What does an hour of TV look like on Twitter? First peak: 15 minutes before airtime. Final is “scenes from next week” @MarkGhuneim #rltm
@AmyVernon: Swam behavior is prevalent with TV on Twitter. Enough data to make sense of social TV. Trendrr contextualizes the engaged consumer #rltm
@rachellevi: “the heat of the swarm is where it’s really at” – @MarkGhuneim #rltm
@AmyVernon: Starting to see shows without high gross ratings points start to trend on Twitter. @MarkGhuneim #rltm
@TheRealCherylM: Openness and degree of realtime posting affect how well a platform will serve an event or tv program #MarkGhuneim #rltm
@RealtimeReport: Wiredset’s @MarkGhuneim talked about the heat of the (realtime) swarm, via groupon, @foursquare swarms, or @Bravotv show watching #RLTM
