The Nielsen Co. announced Monday it has opened up its new social
networking Web site irreverently called Hey! Nielsen (
www.heynielsen.com) to the public. The site,
which gives lovers of pop culture a place to sound off about TV
shows, music or movies, has been tested internally within the
Nielsen Co. for the past few months. Nielsen, the parent company of
The Hollywood Reporter, also plans to launch a Spanish-language
version of the site, Oye! Nielsen, in January. Initially, Nielsen
expects the site will be able to provide demographic information,
comments and scores for specific entertainment properties that
could be used as a complement to Nielsen's traditional research
services such as TV ratings, SoundScan (music), Nielsen EDI (box
office information) and other services.
