Good point well made, mate. The TV debate was so caught up in a Godzilla like battle to win on platforms that nobody noticed people doing two things at once (like you quote from japan)… This was I think a bit of a surprise for everyone. And I say this typing on an iPad whilst watching some ridiculous antiques roadshow spin off on bbc4. (shoot me whilst I’m still young and able, pleeeeeeease : )

It’s also helpful/interesting to stop thinking of social media as a media format. @jedhallam quoted @mediaczar yesterday: “The term ‘social media’ describes the way that certain web technologies amplify existing social dynamics.”
In this context social media is interesting not because it replaces a channel media format like TV but broadens/strengthens people’s experience and ability to respond to it.
