Poll TV | Influence Your Leaders, Be Heard

May 30, 2010 in Ideas by Joel

Poll TV gives you a voice. Have you ever wanted to yell at the tube while watching some phony politician feeds you a line of garbage? Now you can call BS and let everyone know in real-time. We’re giving your TV a set of ears with our innovative new platform, accessible through Google TV and your Android powered remote device.

Never before have so many had the opportunity to make their POV heard, TV 2.0 is here to change that. With our free software, you can send real-time feedback while your favorite American Idol is belting out tunes, when the CourtTV trial of Arnold Jackson’s doctor is hearing arguments or even when your favorite comedian bombs onstage. Our on screen widget also lets you track how are others are reacting in real time.

It’s like Showtime at the Apollo for all of your favorite shows (without having to suffer through Steve Harvey’s commentary).

Add our free app to your Android powered phone or your Logitech remote and give them a piece of your mind today!

To get an idea for how you can interact with our YellTV app, take a look at this clip from CNN during the 2008 presidential debates:

P.S. If you think the opportunity for you app is on mobile or PC devices, think again. TV has 4 billion (yes, billion) users worldwide; that’s more than mobile and PC combined.

P.S.S. This app is just the tip of the iceberg. Imagine the possibilities; Can’t miss your game shows? Have the friends over to compete against live Jeopardy contestants while you “buzz in” with your phone, (you actually won’t even need to be in the same country to enjoy this). Obsessed with your fantasy sports league? Track your teams real time stats at the same time you’re watching the big game. Into cooking? Put on the Food Network and automatically have the ingredients added to your grocery list. Stuck in another city and about to miss the big meeting? Throw on your “TV cam” (semi-fictional hardware) and join your team while having your full computer screen to work with. These ideas are all off the cuff, so if you have any apps you’d like to see, share your ideas in the comments below. If you’re a developer, Google has some interesting parameters that should help you think of a few of your own ideas, check’em out: http://www.google.com/tv/developer/.
