#Winning

The interaction with viewers and fans via Social Media is booming buisiness in TV-land. Especially talent shows like The Winner Is make use of Facebook, Hyves and Twitter to enable viewers to feel connected to the show and the contestants.

The nation's ice skating pride Sven Kramer must have liked this concept. He held a contest via his Facebook and Twitter accounts. His fans were asked to predict Kramers 5km time at the World Distance Championships in Thialf, Heerenveen. An awesome reward was reserved for the winners, something worth winning for any single one of Sven Kramers fans: A real Sven Kramer skating suit! The winner on Facebook wins a TVM suit, while the Twitter winner receives a KPN suit.

Community returns: A social media success

The wait is almost over. March 15 marks the return of the beloved sitcom Community, aka the show with that extremely passionate fanbase. It had been put on indefinite hiatus back in November, so the last few months have been excrutiatingly painful for the loyal fans. But there worries have turned into joy, as NBC will start airing episodes come tomorrow. We like to think the various social media campaigns to save Community from cancellation played at least a small part in that.

A great party, no?

Today is the first day after five days of festivities in Noord-Brabant. Most of the youngsters and adults alike will have great memories of these days, and the ones who really got the party going might have no memories of what they did at all.

No matter if you do or don't remember what you did during Carnival, luckily there is Fijnfisjenie. Fijnfisjenie is dialect which means as much as "It's a good party". Fijnfisjenie is broadcasted by the regional tv station OmroepBrabant, and features the most beautiful processions, the best comedy and of course carnival music, all mixed into one show. The show can be seen online here. That's all very nice of course, but what does it have to do with your own experiences during Carnival?
