I wish I heard about this app before the Oscars -- I would have given it a try last night when some of my tweeps were online.

I've read some private research indicating the trend to watch live TV is slowly declining given the increase in recording device adoption.

Nice app. When will the show listings expand to include more titles?

19301935, Great question. The app is optimized for the primetime airing of a show. Our research shows that a majority of US TV watchers watch live TV and cable broadcasts. The app also has high value while watching a show time-shifted or recorded. Watch a show from tivo or hulu with your twitter followers by using the apps friend filter we call this a tvChatter viewing party.

Interesting idea but does anyone watch a show real time (ie when it is actually first aired)? And if it's not based on watching television during its initial broadcast (like what people used to do in the 70's) what's the point of a real time feed?
