For TV fans who are into shows like American Gladiators, So You Think

tvClickr(TM) application launched recently represents a brand new viewing
experience. It lets Facebook users interact with TV and each other in
real-time while watching the live action. This is a first.
To play, users of Facebook - a social utility that helps people
communicate and share information efficiently - install the tvClickr
application developed by LiveHive Systems. Then they play along with
prime-time TV shows, making predictions, answering trivia questions,
responding to polls, chatting with other fans, and more. As viewers play
along and answer correctly, they gain points and move to different levels
of achievement.
"There are other destinations on the Web where TV fans can access
editorial, spoilers, and show information, but something like this has
never been done before," says Dave Bullock, President of LiveHive
Systems. "tvClickr lets them play along with whatever they're watching,
and they do it LIVE. Young viewers crave social interaction with
everything they do, and that includes watching television. Facebook
provides the perfect destination to tie viewers and their friends
directly into prime-time TV in a fun, engaging and social way that spurs
competition. This will definitely change how people watch TV."
