SEVILLE — When comScore launched in the 1990s, it began measuring consumers’ internet browsing habits by installing a software monitor on their PC.<\/p>\n

Times have changed. A lot. With devices proliferating,\u00a0online life is no longer about the computer in the study – so comScore is making a move to capture everything, with a new product called Total Home Panel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re moving the measurement from the machine out to the router,” chief research officer Josh Chasin<\/a>\u00a0tells Beet.TV in this video interview.<\/p>\n

“You put a router meter in a household, and now you can measure, from the same household, all the computers, all the phones, all the tablets, but also all the watches, all the smart watches, all the OTT devices.”<\/p>\n

The move will\u00a0give comScore much better insight in to how households really use the modern internet – at least, at home.<\/p>\n

Chasin says it means, one day, comScore will probably report on\u00a0usage of connected thermostats, Sonos music speakers and more.<\/p>\n

Because not all TV is online yet, comScore, which recently merged with TV measuring agency Rentrak, plans to put a TV monitoring meter in half of Total Home Panel households, giving it a deeper viewer in to broad media consumption.<\/p>\n
