This is interesting as I do it all the time! Most recently just getting the word out about the new Futurama seasons on CC. I mostly post it to spread the word about a show I like, I usually never comment after a show, unless it was the horrible ending of LOST…. As for Arrested Development we’ll probably never know. You have shows like Family Guy and Futurama that came back after fan support and DVD/BluRay sales. It’s sad because Arressted Development was so good too, the best show no one ever watched…

Exhibit A: @bluthquotes on Twitter has close to 34,000 followers. For a show that’s been off the air for five years now.

I can’t decipher which percentage factile corresponds to which social network, but FB is always going to be the better place to get results, until the user levels of each social site are the same, then 20% of 750Million, is always going to be higher than 70% of 200million.

That is of course a really hard question to answer, simply because there are so many other factors playing into ratings. I think the closest evidence we have that social media matters are the audience records we’ve sen over the last few years for live TV events. How that translates to serialized content is really hard to say…

There still is no solid, confirmed tie to viewership ratings/numbers and social media activity. Everyone touts the number of tweets they got, but how many extra viewers or rating points did they get?

Well as an ongoing campaign that has yet to work, search #SaveLieToMe on twitter and on google. An amazing international campaign was undertaken, and still Fox cancelled Lie To Me. Right now there is an ongoing effort to get another network to adopt the show. I am not sure twitter will ever trump the Neilson’s. But I sure would love to see this campaign suceed.Awesome video projects, well planned drives and nada
