Americans are getting into the habit of going online while watching television, with 10% or more of viewers visiting social networks, searching the web and browsing content during major TV events.

According to traffic monitoring service Hitwise, Twitter doesn’t even come close to Google News and Facebook when it comes to where people actually get their news.

PR professionals use social media every single day to get the word out about clients, to communicate with customers and to respond to questions or problems. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other social sites have quickly become important tools in a PR professional’s overall toolkit.

The New York Times and CNN have both built strong online presences – through strongly contrasting technology strategies. Senior players at both companies explain.

In Season 4 Episode 2 “Soft Eyes” Weebay’s son Namond goes up to his room and turns on the tv.  He grabs an Xbox controller, changes the channel, and starts playing Halo 2.  Take a look at this screen grab below.  Anything seem just a little off to you?

I played enough Halo 2 in college to know that the “Halo 2″ logo was not in the middle of the screen at the bottom there during game play.

So I have two theories on this; it’s either a) sloppy editing, which probably is the case or b) Microsoft was paying for that product placement.  I feel like Davis Simon wouldn’t sell out like that, especially with a show like The Wire.  But  throughout the series, I’m fairly certain that when a video game is played, they are always using Xbox controllers.  Coincidence?

Yeah, I probably wouldn’t be offended if you’re thinking I need to get a life.

I was in that 40% once. After not using a Blackberry for over a year, it was nice to start using one again solely for the keyboard.

Sounds about right.
