It looks like the TV industry is slowly moving towards the internet to rely on ratings. I think it's great that people who don't have cable and watches via streaming will now use this system to support their favorite shows.Nielsen will launch its Twitter TV Ratings on September 30, giving television networks and advertisers the first industry-standard metric for second-screen viewership.
I also noticed Adult Swim is live streaming their channel and will also add towards TV ratings:

What do you think guys? Do you think this is a first step towards legal internet streaming and abandoning cable all together? Or is this asking for major abuse with Twitter bots spamming tweets everywhere (idk how Twitter manages their tweets so I'm not quite sure of this).
