Many professing to understand media seem to believe in the zero-sum game --- that one platform takes away from another, that a winner also results in a loser.
Time Magazine points out that television appears to be benefiting from the relatively new platform of Twitter. In particular, big TV is made bigger by the Twittercooler.
