Social mentions help to raise a show\u2019s profile, which means that creating the opportunity for a two-screen experience has become a goal for many broadcasters, producers and app developers.<\/p>\n<p>Applications like <a href=\"http:\/\/getglue.com\/\">Get Glue<\/a> allow fans to check-in to a television show while they\u2019re watching. Similar to Foursquare, Get Glue offers stickers to fans who check-in for a certain amount of time. In June, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hbocanada.com\/trueblood\/\"><em>True Blood<\/em><\/a> teamed up with Get Glue to offer fans a customized HBO <em>True Blood<\/em> sticker during the season four premiere. By the end of the episode, Get Glue had awarded more than 20,000 stickers to fans and had registered more than 38,000 live check-ins.<\/p>\n<p>Yap.TV is another application that provides live check-ins, while also tying in social media. This social television application allows fans to interact with their friends and other fans of the show in real time through features like user-generated polls and integration with Twitter and Facebook. This provides viewers with a live feed of every mention of the show and gives them the option to interact with one another. Yap.TV also offers a live TV guide, which lists a schedule of all of the television shows airing on various networks.<\/p>\n<p>Get Glue and Yap.TV are just two of the many mobile applications that are getting massive attention from fans around the world. Other social television mobile apps that I suggest checking out are IntoNow and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.socialguide.com\/\">Social Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my recent post on social television, I talked about the ways that mobile devices, apps and social media are changing the television viewing experience.
