One of the great things about Twitter is being able to find like minded people and connecting. Sometimes this means students are talking to other students in different countries. Or moms are being able to connect with others just like them. And sometimes, you can find the people who love your must watch fave TV show just as much as you. The easiest way of doing this is hastags. When you follow a hashtag you can follow a full conversation about the subject.
Recently I went on Tubetime and had the chance to tweet with others about my fave sitcom. Big Bang Theory. Installation was quick , easy and surprisingly inexpensive for a device. I was able to follow the hashtag easily and keep up in real time to the conversation. It was a lot of fun tweeting along with other fans. Seeing others tweet what I was thinking was quite the experience. If you have an Apple device (iPad, iPhone etc) and like to tweet while watching you drama or sitcom or even event, you will want to check this out.
TubeTime just launched the new social TV app in Canada! Tubetime is all about bringing TV viewers a fun, simple and richer TV experience, making what matters to you available in one app. Your channel guide, your shows, exclusive content and a universal remote control.

I loved the fact that I could RT and reply to others tweets while using the hashtag. No need to add the hashtag either. The APP already does it for you. On top of tweeting, you can also share on Facebook. It really was a lot of fun.
Very interesting. I love new apps, so I will check this one out. Thanks, Kim!

oh that would be so much fun to chill out with others while I watch Big Bang Theory! I love that show too! Can't wait til this is available on google play!
That's pretty darn neat. I need to check it out next time I'm over at my mom's (we don't have subscription TV).
I can't wait for the Android version. I so want to try this. I like the idea of my phone becoming a universal remote. I won't have to ask the 10 year old to get my show on the TV. 😉
Looks interesting… but when I am in chill mode… tweeting is far from my mind 🙂
