Social media are thriving at the moment. Think for instance of the facebook- or twitterrevolution of the last few years. Also music-stations are slowly adapting social media into their systems. Look at 3fm, a Dutch radiochannel, for example. They now make what they call "social radio". Interacting with their listeners through the show, calling and tweeting. Also they can be watched with webcams on the site.
The market of social media is rapidly expanding and every new area in which it operates , it seems to be a success. In my opinion social television will be the next hype. Imagine watching shows when you like and seeing which of your friends are watching the show aswell. Chatting with friends or even strangers about the show and the events you just seen. Connecting your other social networks automatically to your television set, making appointments to watch shows together or host movienights through your television...and much more.
Social media seem to initiate in everything people use often to communicate or belong. The internet was the first area in which this kind of social networks existed, but is soon spread to smartphones. Think for instance of the blackberry network. Now that social media are prominent on computers, phones and smaller digital gadgets, it seems like a logical step to spread to the mass-media system pur sang...the television.
Hope to chat with you about a television show we are both watching soon.
