Fringe Twitter and GetGlue Campaign For 417, "Everything In Its Right Place"-Face Yourself

Fringe Twitter and GetGlue Campaign For 417, "Everything In Its Right Place"-Face Yourself

The last Fringe Twitter and GetGlue campaign, sponsored by Fringenuity on March 30th was quite successful.
Thanks to Fox Broadcasting's help, the entire episode aired with the Fringenuity hash tag "ChangeYourWorld" on the screen instead of #Fringe, for the second time in the show's history!

There are lots of awesome statistics that emerged from this event, read more here.

The group, Fringenuity, hosts the Friday night Twitter/GetGlue campaigns.
Fringe Television is proud to support Fringenuity's efforts to promote "Fringe" in as many social media venues as possible, and asks for your help.

Tomorrow night we want to continue our social media domination, and the Fringedom wants to try to get the hash tag #FaceYourself to trend on Twitter starting at 8PM Eastern.
That's 1 hour before the new episode airs, and then again at 8PM Pacific time.

Why keep tweeting? Because we know that ratings isn't just about Nielsen boxes anymore. TV networks and their contractors pay attention to which TV shows are 'socially-active' and our show Fringe is very socially-active on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and other venues.

Why continue this effort? Last Friday's event catapaulted Fringe in multiple social media platforms, and we need to keep Fringe visible in these platforms in the weeks ahead, especially with the ongoing FOX/Warner Brothers negotiaions for a Season 5.

Please consider joining in tomorrow night at 8PM Eastern and 8PM Pacific to support your favorite show by signing into Twitter and using the #FaceYourself hash tag.

If you are not familiar with Twitter, you can create an new account rather painlessly at http://www.twitter.com/.

For more information on this week's special Fringe Twitter event visit the Fringenuity website here.

You can also adopt a special icon from 7(!) lovely sets, and/or 1 of 2 lovely banners for this event by clicking here.


An important reminder: Please do not tweet with the #FaceYourself hash tag until 8PM Eastern, to increase the likelihood of trending! And volume helps, so tweet slowly, and tweet often after the start time Friday night! Also, retweet tweets that you like, that have the #FaceYourself hash tag.

Let's dominate Twitter Friday night, and make our hash tag and our show trend worldwide! Again!


***ButWait! There's more!***

Another social network platform that needs our attention on Friday nights is GetGlue.com.
If you are not familiar with getglue.com it is a very clever advertising site married to social networking.
GetGlue merges fans with their interests, and their interests' sponsors.

If you have a GetGlue account you can "check-in" to Fringe. The shows that get the most check-ins are highly visible to the networks and the show's sponsors.
It is recommended you start checking into GetGlue closer to the start time of Fringe to increase the chance of trending there. For the last 2 Friday nights we made Fringe the #1 checked in show on GetGlue!
You can also look up Fringe's sponsors on GetGlue, check-in to them, ie. Nissan Leaf, Sprint, etc., and thank them for supporting Fringe. Think it doesn't make a difference? Guess again.
For the last few weeks, due to our GetClue check-ins, the Nissan Leaf was one of the most checked-in sponsors on the site.

Let’s make it a combined effort to not only check-in to the show, but to also check-in to the show’s advertisers and comment, “Thank You for your support of Fringe! @FringeOnFox”


If you don’t have a Getglue account, make one at http://www.getglue.com/.

You can post your check-ins to Twitter and/or Facebook.

The more activity, the better, as this may also get other Fringies involved in the GetGlue check-ins.

GetGlue also has convenient mobile phone aps for iphone, Android, and Blackberry.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Please, enjoy the new episode tomorrow night, and support high visibility of your show by tweeting on Twitter with the special hash tag, and checking into Fringe at GetGlue and thanking at least 1 of Friday night's many sponsors. Your efforts will not go unrewarded, and may help increase our chances of getting a Season 5.

Fringedom, the time is now! If you want your Season 5, Watch "Everything In Its Right Place" LIVE tomorrow night, and join in this Twitter/GetGlue event!

Make sure FOX Broadcasting and the Fringe sponsors know that you want another season of FRINGE!!

Ratings: Fringe Pops Up from Demo Low

Now this is interesting: Fox’s Fringe this Friday drew 3.11 million total viewers while scoring a 1.2 demo rating — that marks week-to-week gains of 8 and 33 percent, up from the all-time demo low the show has been nursing for too long.

Fringe Review: Nothing As It Seems

“It is either a miracle, or an accident.”

The Fringe showrunners have said that this season is a love letter to the show, and this episode’s extended callback to Season One’s “The Transformation” didn’t just revamp an old story, but complicated it, and extended it. It also shows just how far this show has come in terms of both individual scenes and larger ideas: “The Transformation” was a weak episode of a show that was finding its footing. “Nothing As It Seems” is a strong episode that plays on many, if not all, of a mature show’s strengths, including a delightful willingness to mix humor and pathos.

Welcome to the Observiews for Season 4 of Fringe. I call them Observiews because they are more visual observations than deep thinking reviews, if that makes sense.

Screen caps from this episode are taken from fringefiles.com. Dialog is from fringepedia.net/transcripts.

All observations are mine and therefore could be totally off the wall and/or wrong. I have not read or looked at any recaps or reviews. I could also have missed a few things, oh well…

4.15 A Short Story About Love

I want to start off with this because I think it was so cool that Fox allowed that.

Fox fuels Twitter trail to 'Fringe'

Fox fuels Twitter trail to 'Fringe'
Net to continue on-air stunt aimed at social media users

By Andrew Wallenstein

Fox is bringing together Twitter and TV in an unusual bid to rally the "Fringe" faithful.

The network has decided to extend for the rest of the season an on-air stunt tried during last Friday's episode that sent the series trending on the popular social-media platform.

Fox planted the mysterious phrase "#whereyoubelong" as the Twitter hashtag that appears in the lower right of the screen throughout the episode instead of the title of the series. Perhaps only diehard "Fringe" fans recognized that the phrase -- an allusion to a plot point -- was the latest attempt to get attention for the series on Twitter by the series' cult following, collectively known as Fringenuity.

Now Fox is going to pick a new Fringenuity-inspired phrase to use as a hashtag each week for the remaining seven episodes. That way "Fringe" fans can drive a clearly identifiable spike in social media traffic beginning precisely one hour before the series airs on the East Coast. The March 23 stunt was good enough to get #whereyoubelong trending both in the U.S. and worldwide, not to mention finishing fourth among TV series-related social messages for the week behind only "American Idol," "Dancing With the Stars" and "The Voice," according to Bluefin Labs.
