Sources from Which US Adults Get Their News and Information, September 2009 (% of total)Jay Leno recently congratulated the New York Times for being in business for 158 years. The punch line, of course, was that he had read about the milestone on the Internet. According to US September 2009 studies by ARAnet and the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press television remains Americans’ primary source of news. However, online gained 20% in the last year, while the traditional channels lost between 10% and 18% versus last year.

Research: Which brands ‘get’ social media?

2 August, 2009

Lists are always fun, but this recent study by analyst the Altimeter Group not only ranks the top 100 brands by social media engagement, but also carries some interesting finds for brands not on there – yet :)

The Most Engaged Brands On The Web study scores the engagement level of each of the top 100 brands across more than ten social media channels, including blogs, Facebook, Twitter and discussion forums.

These are companies that are open to the audience, that facilitate the conversation with their customers, that actively listen to the audience, that talk and take feedback about everything from strategic decisions to processes and product features. In short, companies that “get it”

According to the research, the top ten brands are: Read on

Research: “The Simpsons” ads online more expensive than on TV

27 June, 2009

hulu-simpsons

Nielsen published the report “How Teens Use Media” this week, a report on the “myths and realities of teen media trends ”. It’s a good read, showing that the American Teenager is more conservative in his (or her) media choice than some fast-talking online media experts would have you believe.

Dad knows best

Some of the most interesting points from the research are around the choice of medium, but the media consulted still are pretty much in line with parental choice. In the end “teens” is the word we use for a part of the demographic that is just about to start making their own unique choices, but are in fact still mostly following the lead of their parents.

Report Highlights:

- For TV, American teens today actually watch Read on

Research: iDTV advertising in Belgium - Stalemate?

18 May, 2009

idtv2_200x200px_0[1] By many in the industry, Belgium is considered to be the Mecca of iDTV (interactive Digital TV), because of the penetration of digital TV in Belgian households, which is relatively much higher than in surrounding countries.

Many iDTV services like Video On Demand are really taking off in Belgium, and the users are getting used to finding some form of interactivity at the push of the red button on most major channels on their set-top boxes. 

Because of this well-developed market characteristic, Microsoft Advertising recently ordered a report on the state of iDTV advertising in Belgium, from which Read on

Research: social networkers - and how to charm them :)

14 March, 2009

computer-woman Recently the results of two American studies on social networkers were released by InsightExpress and Netpop. The studies report on participation trends across social networks, as well as on how receptive their members are to advertising. Allow me to summarize the most important findings before moving to a conclusion on what I think the relationship between social networkers and advertisers should look like.

One out of three

The number of social networkers has almost doubled since 2006. Today, 43% of the online population uses social networking sites. 76% of US broadband users (105 million) are active contributors to the web via social media in general. In addition, approximately 29%, or 40 million broadband users, are regular contributors specifically through social networking sites. Most social networkers also use Messenger, texts, blogs and microblogs like Twitter.

Typical users

Social networkers in the US are most likely to be single, employed women, age 18-39. A typical social networker connects weekly with an average of 18 people one-to-one, and 110 people one-to-many. They spend an average of 36% of their online time Read on

Research: Video snack seduction - Women crave aspirational infotainment

4 March, 2009

Bionic Woman“Video snacking” is an accurate description of the current viewing habits around quick & consistent consumption of video.

ComScore recently published highlights of its U.S. video reporting that support this trend. Mind you, the data is US only and was gathered in late 2008. Still, some interesting results:

146 million people, or 77% of the U.S. Internet audience, have now viewed online video. Those viewers watched 34% more online videos than they did last year. The average online viewer watched 273 minutes of video, up over 40% vs. the previous year. The average duration of online video is fairly short, at 3.1 minutes per video. And, the audience viewed 87 videos per month on average, 18 more videos per month than last year.

music taste chart

Do you like Reggaeton music? Or Gospel? Or Beyonce? Chances are, you’re not the sharpest tool in the shed :) The “Music that makes you dumb” project shows that there is a clear relation between your musical taste and your intelligence. Or at least a relation to your chances to succeed in college, as defined by the average score in the SAT test, a standardized test for U.S. college admissions.. 

The x-axis represents the SAT score, while the colored boxes indicate either music genre or artist/composer. The chart maps the 133 most popular (out of 1,455) favorites from 1,352 different schools. This image shows the central piece of the chart. Click to enlarge.

Research: Time spent online - what do we do most, which activities grow fastest?

28 January, 2009

Research GlassesAbout a year ago, IDC research reported that mature users with an internet connection at home spend more time online (32.7 hours/week) than on any other medium. This is almost half of the total time spent using all media (70.6 hours), almost twice as much time as spent watching television (16.4 hours), and more than eight times as much time as spent reading newspapers and magazines (3.9 hours). And there I was, wondering what “time spent online” actually means. How do these people spend their time online?

Wot, then?

So, now there’s a report from Mediamark Research & Intelligence, (MRI), which shows what people do most, and which activities have seen the most growth. The overall winners are Read on

Research: Blogging is mainstream, but still badly paid :)

26 November, 2008

Blogosphere Technorati recently released the “State of the Blogosphere 2008″ report. They have surveyed roughly 1300 bloggers, randomly selected from a pool of about 1 million blogs. So, since we all love to read and write about blogging, here are some interesting facts from the report. First of all, let’s look at the business side.

Why blog?

Surprise: the vast majority of surveyed bloggers currently have advertising on their blogs. Among them, the average investment in their blog is about $1,800. The average annual revenue is $6,000. If you would divide the 4000 dollars profit per year by the hours spent, blogging is pretty badly paid work :D However, if you have 100,000 or more unique visitors per month the revenue can get up to the area of 75.000 US dollars. But, of course, there are more reasons to blog :) Read on

Research: Who is watching pre-recorded TV shows?

1 October, 2008

Research GlassesForget videotapes. A Digital Video Recorder (DVR), now is found in one out of four American households. These Windows Mediacenters, Tivo’s, Harddisk recorders, etc. are all recording hours on hours of TV shows. The number of US households with DVRs has essentially doubled in the past two years and, with a continued push from cable, satellite, and Telco TV providers, will likely double again over the next four years. Leichtman Research Group reports on the use of Digital Video Recorders.

Happiness is a spinning hard disk.

A whopping 87% of the DVR owners would recommend their DVR service to a friend. 81% rate their DVR 8-10 on a 10 point scale (with 45% rating the service as 10). And thirty percent actually owns more than one DVR. Great numbers, showing these devices to be the center of the viewing experience at home. Everyone is watching time-shifted (recorded) shows, causing serious concern with broadcasters and Read on

Star trek - talk about loyal audiences...Accenture’s Global Broadcast Consumer Survey shows that consumers are growing increasingly disenchanted with their overall television experience, but are remaining loyal to their favorite programs.
