It not a secret anymore that social networks have influence on how TV content is consumed by audience. The more people watch a show, the more inclined they are to talk about it on Twitter.
We can understand the sentence above as (and it is true): “the more tweets a show generates in Twitter, the more people will be inclined to watch it”.
An article says: “After a minute-by-minute analysis of 221 shows, the study arrived at the conclusion that close to half of them had been mentioned on Twitter and that a high number of tweets had contributed to increasing these shows’ audience ratings by 29%.”
Are those two platforms really so connected with each other? How does the Facebook (most popular social network) fit in picture?
