Twitter Asks You How You Use Twitter While You Watch TV, While You’re Watching TV and Using Twitter

As we’ve noted many times, Twitter is very interested in linking itself with the TV business. (Facebook too, but that’s a different story.)

And as we noted last month, Twitter has recently started asking its own users if they connect Twitter with TV, via online surveys.

  • Is explicitly about watching football and using Twitter, and that
  • The invitation to participate in the survey showed up in Langer’s feed shortly after kickoff during last night’s “Monday Night Football” finale.

Here’s the query:
