Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 03, 2014 -- Who had the most epic, shocking, emotional, and original performances at the 2014 American Music Awards? This year, the audience shared their thoughts using Bites.tv, the first social media participation platform that allows users, publishers, TV shows, events, influencers and brands to create engaging polls and trivia questions that can easily be embedded in websites and apps, and shared on Facebook and Twitter.
