Six Degrees of Starbuck?
posted Friday, December 15, 2006 - 08:29 AM (#36952)

It seems like, no matter what TV show I'm looking at in the iTunes store, it says "Viewers Also Bought: Battlestar Galactica".

Amazon admitted once that they sometimes get paid to provide such messages to the users... maybe iTunes does the same. Or BG is really popular.

Maybe all the stuff you look at is really nerdy.

I think it's because BG is really popular, such that anyone who buys any TV show is likely to also buy BG.

I think it's also because most of the people buying TV shows off of iTunes are more likely to geeky early adopters.

The percentage of these people who have watched BG is >>> than the percentage of average Americans who have.

On a related note, it looks like the money-men consider BSG to be the height of technology:
