Convergence

According to the author, convergence is how the media is circulating in our culture. Media is not only t.v. and the internet, it is also print and radio. It has become one device essentially, where you can access all of these in one location. You are able to distribute content quickly and across multiple platforms. "In the world of media convergence, every important story gets told, every brand gets sold, and every consumer gets courted across multiple media platforms." The internet is now a two way form of communication and people are able to share their thoughts and ideas freely with anyone who wants to read it.

Creative engagement is sharing ones idea with others and engaging with them, whether it is from an interactive website or a blog that might be devoted to fans of a certain t.v. series. As Jenkins mentioned, many people were able to discover the winner of Survivor or where it was going to take place by looking at past locations and contacting a variety of different people such as travel agents. It takes a lot of dedication and involvement for these people. My mind goes to tumblr because many tumblr blogs are devoted to fans of t.v. series. There are .gifs of the show and spoilers almost minutes after the scene and episode air. TV isn't just staying on the television anymore. People can now participate while watching a t.v. show live by using the hashtags and posting them to twitter. Just recently The Walking Dead fans got angry with the show for posting spoilers on its own Facebook page  before the episode aired. I also think of Reddit and how quickly a topic can get shared and by people doing AMAs and sharing what they know and answering questions right in the forum. People are participating in forum and answering or asking questions and are actively involved. People can also give others "gold" for posts or questions so it's another way of participants engaging with one another.
