When news of Beyoncé's pregnancy broke on MTV's VMAs this week, Twitter traffic hit a record 8,868 tweets per second, suggesting that even passive TV watching is becoming a social event. That convergence could get a kick-start via a partnership announced Thursday between satellite TV giant DirecTV and a social media startup called Miso.
Miso has developed an iPhone app that has the capability to "know" what you are watching on TV and automatically to check-in to shows and to share or follow comments about the show on Facebook and Twitter.
