Growing up many American school children had the pleasure of reading one of famed fiction author Judy Blume’s books at one time or another. People.com’s recent CoveritLive chat with Blume allowed the author’s fans to connect with one of their favorite authors from their childhood or perhaps even an author they experienced with their own children.

A quintet of international events swept the top five spots of this week’s edition of the weekly CoveritLive Social TV rankings, with the Australian Football League claiming two spots, a pair of European football events earning two places as well and a reality TV competition topping the charts.

As you prepare for the keynote at Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference this June, check out the success that MacWorld has enjoyed with its live blog coverage of previous Apple product announcments. CoveritLive provides MacWorld with the means to deliver real-time updates to the masses, live from all of Apple's major events.

The CoveritLive Social TV rankings took on a new look last week with four reality TV events claiming spots in the weekly top five. A pair of German reality TV finales and two British reality shows joined Australian Rules Football in the weekly rankings to fill out the top five. 

Over the past few months, we have been analyzing how use of CoveritLive has evolved and how that relates to the data we record for engaged viewers or “clicks.” In the process, we uncovered cases where our method of tracking was understating the number of live engaged readers. To rectify this, we have tested some adjustments and decided to tweak the tracking and reporting of clicks in certain situations.

On June 1st, we will update how we track and report clicks for Events and Tickers that do not include a Title Page. With the change, we will start counting a view as a click once the user has been on a page receiving updates for three (3) minutes or longer and has not already engaged with the Event or Ticker.
