Social party

Oct 2010

Party Wars is the next Living TV show to get the El Mys chat aggregator treatment (see ‘Talking Tyra’ and ‘Love Social Buzz’). To have a look at our integrated Twitter and Facebook application, head over to partywarschat.livingtv.co.uk. Our software collects all the latest buzz about the show on both social networks and automatically brings in the latest tweets and Facebook posts as they happen. And as if that wasn’t enough, Party Wars fans can add their own tweets/posts straight from the site and join the conversation with the Living TV editors straight from the site. Party time!

Talking Tyra

Oct 2010

El Mysterioso’s social chat aggregator for Britain’s Next Top Model was a big hit (see ‘Love Social Buzz’). So much so, that Living TV decided to use a similar service for the American version of the show. Now you can follow all the gossip about Tyra and the would-be models at http://antmchat.livingtv.co.uk/

Thanks to the easily extensible nature of our original application, it was a breeze to roll out the America’s Next Top Model version (with new search terms, design and graphics). As before, it searches Twitter and Facebook for relevant posts and displays them in a live updating stream. Users can sign in from either social network and join the conversation with the Living TV editors straight from the site. Enjoy the show! Continue Reading →

Love social buzz?

Jul 2010

Virgin Media wanted a site that could capture the social media buzz surrounding their TV shows, starting with Britain’s Next Top Model. Our application searches for posts about the programme on Twitter and Facebook, then collates them into a single live stream. Virgin can curate the search, adding in new terms as the series progresses, and interact directly with their audience in real time.

With a little tweaking, we can add in whatever social network is flavour of the day (hello Google Buzz and Diaspora, goodbye MySpace), and we’ll be rolling out new versions for other Virgin Media shows soon. Watch this space…

A night in with Grey’s

Jan 2010

Grey’s Anatomy wanted to promote the ultimate girls night: an evening on the sofa enjoying the series six premiere. As part of a broad integrated campaign we built them a viral microsite, featuring an email invitation designed to keep the men out of the way.
