We all know one of those people. We work with them, we live with them, and sometimes we are them. People who seem to bounce from topic-to-topic with such mental dexterity it reminds one of a skilled gymnast. Those people who pull their smartphone out mid-sentence during a conversation like a gunfighter from the Wild West and mentally “move on.” It’s people who think listening is defined as the waiting period for them to speak again. Sound familiar?
Technology companies are now feeding the ADHD beast! Forget “Second Life!” How about “Second Screen?”
Smartphones and tablets are never far from our reach, filling in the lulls of the day and augmenting our television experience. However, their ability to help us complete tasks and access content more effectively is seeing them increasingly referred to as the primary or “first” screen.
Second-screen or multi-screen strategies will become as important as expanding mobile tactics in your 2013 business plan and will serve as a platform to build customer relationships, share extended content and increase audience engagement. TalkPoint has already recognized the importance of the second-screen, and we’ve updated our webcasting platform with the best in HLS technology to support more mobile devices than ever before. Leading media companies like Comcast, NBCUniversal, HBO and Viacom are also recognizing the value of second-screen viewing by backing Zeebox, the second-screen TV viewing companion app, to deliver enhanced content and synchronized ads with its cable shows on TV.
