Want to earn stuff by watching TV?
An app for that just made its debut yesterday.
"When you tap the screen, Viggle’s
software for iPhones and iPads listens to what’s on, recognizes what you’re
watching and gives you credit at roughly two points per minute.
Rack up 7,500
points, and you’ll be rewarded with a $5 gift card from retailers such as
Burger King, Starbucks, Apple’s iTunes, Best Buy and CVS.
You can earn bonus
points for checking into certain shows, signing up and watching ads. The idea
behind Viggle is that by giving people an added reason to watch TV, the size of
the audience will increase, thereby allowing makers of shows to earn more money
from advertisers. Versions for Android devices and computers are coming."
