At CES, Flingo introduced SyncApps, which could allow users to tweet what they're watching on TV to their social network on Twitter and Facebook without having to use another device. Mind you, that would mean one-click sharing of TV content without additional commentary, "since TV remotes aren’t built for inputting text," writes Ryan Lawler.
The product would also "let broadcasters deliver relevant content like tweets, polls, and quizzes directly to the screen and to second-screen companion applications. It can also be used to display relevant tweets and hashtags on the TV, without broadcasters having to add them to the original TV feed."
