ABC News announced a new app called Social Soundtracker that will allow users to tap emoticons to instantly convey their feelings about a television program—clap, boo, laugh, gasp and aww—with a goal of turning TV viewing into a simulacrum of a communal event, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Web app will debut on Saturday during the White House Correspondents' Dinner, while the iPhone app will be available in May.
Social Soundtracker will sync with Facebook so that users can share the experience of watching TV news with their friends.
