In these days, there is a paradigm shift of viewer lifestyles in TV viewing, such as on-demand viewing which is place and time-independent, or they believe word of mouth or their friends' recommendation. Therefore, we focused on viewer behaviors in social TV which is combination of video-on-demand and TV review social network, and we made a trial web site for collecting viewer behavior logs and analyzing them. As a result of the analysis, we found that viewers' behavior is very different from conventional TV viewing. Based on our experiment, impact of social TV, method of service delivery, and required technology are described in this paper.
