Google insights on when and how you search TV shows

Interesting insights from Google into how TV viewers search for shows and what that says about TV watching (highlights are mine):

  • Cable series demonstrate significantly higher levels of search intensity in comparison to broadcast shows. This is likely due to cable’s edgier programming, younger audience, and frequent re-run airings.
  • The season premiere and finale of a show see large spikes in search intensity, and present ideal opportunities to reach viewers online. YouTube searches tend to occur at the beginning of a season, mobile searches surge toward the end, and desktop search maintains more consistent volume with less extreme swings.
  • Audiences have increasingly been searching for full episodes, an indication of the growing availability of full-length TV content online.

The Top 8 Languages in the world - by populations size. Would you have known that more people speak Bengali, the language spoken in Pakistan, than Russian? Or that the small island of Japan has a top 8 language? Data came from here.

Census Data: Americans are having fewer kids than 10 years ago

In a recent article, AdAge reported on recent Census 2010 data and points out that there are fewer “traditional” families (2 parents and children) than ten years ago. There is an increase in the number of single mom households, and there is an increase in married couple households, but the number of couple households with children of any age has decreased.

Surveys in Japan have suggested that women who work full-time then go home and spend another 30 hours a week doing the housework. Their husbands contribute an unprincely three hours of effort.
– Asian women seem to bear an unusually large share of the burden of marriage. That may be one reason why they are marrying later, and less, than in the past. (via theeconomist)
