Connectivity Through TV and Web

Today I watched, "The Web and TV, a Sibling Rivalry." I think the key point to take away from this presentation is the importance of interactivity and connectivity with potential consumers.  All the way back to Space Wars on the computer and the Winky Dinky window on TV, both mediums have attempted to connect with consumers.  Instead of talking at an audience, the more successful medium will be that which can interact with its audience. 

Of note, the presentation mentioned the new (at the time) Nike plus network, which is a prime example.  Instead of Nike just airing commercials, it has created a network of connections among Nike plus users and Nike itself.  Through this connectivity Nike is drawing its consumers to its site instead of having to go out and seek them out.  This results in much less television advertising and greater brand loyalty from consumers.
