'“Body of Proof” have actually taken an interesting approach to creating a web series, in that they’re creating a storyline to work as a bridge between a two-part episode.

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
Christine Weitbrecht: "Game of Thrones is unlike many others series in that it is on-air only for a few weeks each year, meaning that the show’s producers face a very particular dilemma: Keep fan passion and interest going for the rest of the year when other shows and content are competing for the fans’ attention."
Kajsa Hartig's curator insight,

Mike Vogel: "Much of the talk about Wreck-It Ralph this week will be about the fact that it comes out in Digital HD on February 12th–almost a month ahead of the DVD release. I’m all for anything that makes DVDs less relevant, but I think the transmedia strategy behind Wreck-It Ralph is more innovative than releasing a movie digitally."
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
Mike Vogel ponders the difference between transmedia and marketing when it comes to Wreck-It Ralph.
