I just came across Chuck Parkers feature ranking of third party 2ndScreen or companion screen apps. The definition for the apps is broad and includes apps that you might use on you smart phone, iPad or laptop when watching a TV. The 2ndScreen app can be used for augmenting the TV experience with trivia, wiki, advertising, well, and much more such as content discovery for VOD. The fact of the matter is, the category is relatively new and Chuck Parkers feature ranking encompasses apps with very different business models. http://digitalvideospace.blogspot.dk/2012/06/feature-ranking-of-3rd-party-second.html |
