TV Chatter App Will Enhance Your Social TV Experience

TV shows are trending topics on Twitter multiple times a day, whether it’s the newest NBC pilot or perhaps a NCAA football game on ESPN. From this we can tell that thousands, if not millions, of Twitter users are interested in what everyone else has to say about the same show they’re watching.

So, then, doesn’t it make sense to be watching your favorite TV show with your iPhone in front of you, checking out what other people have to say about it?

Take one of my favorite TV shows, Lost, as an example. During most episodes I’m constantly updating my Twitter stream to see what little “Easter Eggs” other people have caught, in order to enhance my understanding of what’s going on in the show.

The TV Chatter iPhone app will capitalize on that need, blending TV and social networking together. Twitter is just one example, but TV is quickly becoming a popular social outlet through many different platforms online.

One thing the app will do is show a twitter stream based on your TV show of choice and let the stream scroll down the screen for you at your own pace. You can stop the stream at any time to reply or retweet.

While we haven’t seen the app in its entirety, check out this video demonstrating a few features and why it could be such a great TV-watching experience.

The TV Chatter iPhone app has been submitted to Apple and is now waiting approval. No price has yet been set.
