Just because you and your social circles (and, yes, a lot of other people) use Twitter while watching something doesn’t mean it’s becoming as important as the actual event.

It sounds like you’re in a bit of a bubble.

Very few if any truly memorable. The most being a tweet. And you yourself saying, “can’t really be appreciated later.” Advertising & messaging maybe getting diluted & heading in wrong direction.

A couple of days ago I finished House of Cards, and the one thing I noticed that I lost from the season-at-a-time experience was Twitter interaction.

Great article, thanks for sharing!

I wrote a dissertation on the rise of DVR TV about two years ago and touched on how social media is changing the viewing habits of people during live events (Sports & Talent shows in particular). Back then it was not so prominent now It seems as if two screen viewing has now become the new norm.
