A new study has revealed that social media can significantly increase consumers’ TV time. According to a new study by iModerate Research Technologies, 58% of heavy engagers (consumers who share related thoughts via social networks at least 10 times a week ) report watching more live TV. “The respondents in this study consistently remarked that it makes TV more fun,” said Adam Rossow, vice president of marketing at iModerate. Rossow added that there is also “the desire to keep up with the conversation”.
