Each viewer\'s SVS score is based on three social factors, according to Bravo--popularity, influence and "the \'It\' factor"--and draws on an analysis of the viewer\'s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram presence.\\n\\nThe SVS site also features videos, which offer "insider" tips on improving one\'s SVS score from the "Start-Ups: Silicon Valley" cast. The videos include tutorials on how, for example, to promote a positive social-media image, how to get more re-tweets, and how to capture an effective profile picture. Viewers who sign up for the SVS experience will automatically be entered into a sweepstakes for a chance to win a ticket to the show\'s premiere party, which will take place November 4th in San Francisco.'
