Sharknado becomes #1 in ratings.
Just think about how absurd that is.
Serious answer: It's great if used correctly. I'm not sure Twitter is the best measure of how many people watch a certain something, but it's pretty damn good. I'm not sure if Netflix, Hulu, or other streaming services count right now (but they really should). The internet is ever-changing, so I don't think Nielsen will ever find a suitable way to measure ratings, but I'm willing to give them props for trying so hard.
