Completely agree with Barry. While I am viewing a show I don't want to be distracted. Wouldn't mind discussing i asynchronously afterwards.

Nick,
Nice article. I agree with your primary point. Social interaction around TV shows online tends to be more of an asynchronous experience and it's likely going to be tough to rally enough viewers real time to make for interesting social experiences within the rooms. Sports may be a completely different animal and I think some sort of social viewing room for ESPN360 or CBS Sports could be a little more interesting.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for the link! I meant "passive" as in you can't do anything with TV shows (currently), they just are. The experience I share with others watching them can be interactive. But I still believe that the energy created by watching something live with friends in the same room can't be matched with IM conversations. I like your Twitter feed idea, that plays on what some companies have done with the debates.
