Yahoo!

1. Live-Action App: IntoNow from Yahoo!, a TV companion that is a must have for all sports fans. How it works: Like Shazam for your TV, the app listens to the audio from your TV to identify what you’re watching (live or recorded) then displays related articles, Twitter feeds of owners, coaches, commentators and athletes, and connects you with friends who are watching the same game. For example, if you’re watching the game, you’ll be able to see who else is tuning in and who you might be to banter with about the last play. There’s a demo here. It’s available for iPad as a free download from the App Store.
