Double Surfing

The practice of surfing the Internet while channel surfing (watching TV).

"I was Double Surfing Lost to try and figure out what other shows the actors appear in."

Generally falls under 3 categories:
1. TV as background or as fallback entertainment during long, computer-slowing downloads

2. Engaging in social networking or micro-blogging (Facebook, Twitter) while watching a specific program
3. Augmenting the tv viewing experience by researching aspects of a show. This practice is deliberately catered to by many programs in order to affect a sense of interactivity
