![Which TV Shows Were the Most Social in June? [INFOGRAPHIC]](http://sebastianmourra.com/wp/wp-content/themes/thedawn/images/no-image.png)
Realtime social media tracker Trendrr has released an infographic detailing the biggest winners in the social TV space in June 2011.
Culling data from the Trendrr.tv social TV index, the graphic breaks down the top broadcast, cable networks and TV shows, based on social interaction.
From a programming standpoint, the two big winners in June 2011 were NBC’s The Voice and the BET Awards.
The BET Awards drew 1.4 million social impressions, which helped it rank first in cable programming and helped BET rank as the most social cable network. Likewise, NBC’s big hit, The Voice, was not only the most social show on broadcast TV, it helped NBC maintain a sizable lead over other broadcast networks in terms of social engagement. This is an example of programming with a decidedly social bent performing well on social networks.
The data that is more surprising, at least to us, is the social success, or at least, social activity, surrounding rerun content for less social programming like Fox’s Animation Domination block. This block of Sunday programming, which includes shows like Family Guy and The Simpsons, took three of the top 10 slots every week for the month of June. Part of that can probably be attributed to the summer rerun season, but its interesting to see the social engagement with animated programming.
Trendrr compiles data from public profiles on Facebook, Twitter, Miso and GetGlue. It then ranks that data using buzz, checkins, posts and tweets for terms associated with TV shows. This data excludes sporting events and movies.

Your community used to be defined geographically: the group of people around your block, your subdivision, your small town. But as these infographics show, community now extends as far as your cellphone can call — and has created some interesting new conglomerations of states in the US.
The Connected States of America is a series of illustrations based on mobile penetration, SMS and call communications. For example, it tells us that New Englanders like to call each other a great deal, whereas Californians can easily be divided into two or three mobile communities.
There’s a pretty nifty interactive map and a video illustrating the findings. All of the maps and visuals are based on research done by the MIT Sensible Lab, AT&T and IBM, aggregated from July 2010.
Take a look through the gallery and let us know if you agree. What does mobile data say about your community?
Cities are at the heart of communication communities. Businesses, friends and families connect between the largest population centers. Likewise, mobile usage density reflects population density.
In this graphic, the top layer represents communities formed by calls and SMS records. The middle part represents calls between counties, with the height of the link representing connection volume. At bottom is a map of population density per square mile.
Phone call trends divide the states of California and New Jersey, as communications revolve around the states’ major cities. Some neighboring states are conjoined by mobile traffic: the two Carolinas; Oregon and Washington. State borders are obsolete in New England. Michigan and Texas are the rare examples where mobile communications accurately reflect state lines.
In some cases, different call and SMS communities exist. Mississippians tend to call Louisianans more on the phone, but are more likely to text Alabamans. California’s SMS traffic divides the state in three, rather than the two communities formed by phone calls.
The project also released an interactive map, allowing readers to see how their counties connect with the rest of the country. The more red, the higher the number of mobile connections that go there from your county.

After a close encounter with a texting teen at a busy intersection recently, we wondered: Has texting taken over as the primary form of communication for today’s teens?
We found our answer with this Infographic from Lab 42, which polled 500 social-networking Americans aged 13 to 21.
The headline stat: 71% of the respondents preferred texting to phone calling. But we have our doubts about that self-reported 2% who admit texting while driving, a suspiciously low number.
An additional statistic not included here: An infographic we created last year showed that adults 18 and older text an average of 10 texts per day, and guys 14 to 17 text 30 times per day — but girls 14 to 17 are the biggest texters of all, sending an average of 100 per day.
In some surveys, the overall number is even higher. For instance, according to MSN Money, each American teen sends an average of 3,339 texts per month.
Given the tremendous volume of texting going on, we’re hoping the parents paying for all this ponied up for an unlimited plan. Beyond teen texting, we’re certain we text a lot more than phone calling these days, too. How about you?
