Popular TV shows prompt Tweeting frenzy

A YouGov report has found that more than three quarters of adults use some form of additional media while watching television. The Social TV Trends Report found that of the 2,025 internet users questioned, 76 per cent amused themselves with a games console, the radio or internet whilst watching television. The results are an increase on last year’s 58 per cent tally, and indicate TV watching could be becoming a more collective experience, with everyone wanting to get their opinion out there.

The 18 to 24 demographic proved most active, with 68 per cent of the age group joining in on online chatter via social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
