    ConnecTV represents traditional TV producers' attempt at second screen content, and having that official blessing carries certain perks. Witness the platform's newly added SocialTV Timeline for mobile devices: the real-time, synced content feed provides not just expandable info, news and polls in line with ongoing fan conversations, but live chats with TV and sports personas during key shows and events. The SocialTV Timeline isn't limited to the avaialble iOS or web apps, either; there's support for syndicating it through other companies' mobile software and sites. The core ConnecTV apps remain free (if ad-supported), so those who've had an inclination to chat with an actor or NFL veteran just need to visit the relevant links to get started.
