It is targeted to users who may be living in a new location and watch TV alone, or to users who want to increase the social aspect of watching TV. Through integration with Facebook, the mobile app presents a TV Feed where users can share information, such as screenshots, quotes and recommendations with other individuals in their network. The app has a TV chat feature, where users can engage in both synchronous and asynchronous chatting about what is occurring in the show of their choosing. |
