CBS video site launches "social viewing" rooms

CBS video site launches "social viewing" rooms : Ben Patterson : Yahoo! Tech

"What's the fun in watching 'Survivor' by yourself? Now you can tune in—online, of course—with your pals, hurl suggestions and insults at the screen via text chat, and even answer in-line trivia questions while you watch.

That's the idea behind CBS.com's new 'social viewing rooms,' which just went live this week. Just register an avatar or pick a guest name, click on a show (choices range from 'Survivor' and the 'CSI' shows to 'The Young and the Restless,' 'How I Met Your Mother,' 'The Unit,' and 'Worst Week'), and start typing."
