Up to 25 million tuned in to the Ford-Kavanaugh hearings


An emotionally fraught hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday had Americans riveted to their TV sets and mobile devices. Millions of people huddled around their screen of choice for what at times seemed like a nine-hour inquisition into the heart and soul of the nation.

While a delay in Nielsen’s processing of the broadcast ratings and an imprecise reckoning of the streaming numbers leaves us with only a murky impression of the audience for Thursday’s proceedings, the data that is currently available suggests that tens of millions of Americans watched at least part of the hearings.

In terms of the overall TV deliveries, the preliminary ratings indicate that nearly 20 percent of all TVs that were in use between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. were tuned in to the testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh on the broadcast and cable networks. According to Nielsen overnight data from the 56 metered local TV markets, the marathon session averaged a 16.2 household rating, which upon the addition of the remaining media markets and the requisite adjustments needed to derive the final live-same-day data, should work out to an average TV audience of around 25 million to 26 million total viewers across NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox News Channel, CNN and MSNBC.

Tech, drugs and rock 'n' roll: Inside Salesforce Dreamforce


“Insanity” might not be the best word to describe anything, but it’s how some people described Salesforce Dreamforce prior to attending the event for my first time. And to an extent, it certainly is crazy.

More than 170,000 people came to this year’s spectacle and regardless of where you were, where you were going, you always saw a sea of people wearing Dreamforce badges. Escalators at hotels and event venues were slammed in every direction. Walking outside meant keeping your head on a swivel.

Dreamforce takes over several blocks and transforms them with forest-themed installations: There’s fake grass on gravel, waterfalls and rock climbing walls.
