ConnecTV, the social TV network for television fans, today announced a unique new SocialTV Timeline that dynamically syncs on your mobile devices to whatever show you're watching, and offers a stream of integrated news, bios, special info, polls, and celebrity tweets. ConnecTV's SocialTV Timeline also puts front and center "guest star" chat with stars from hit programs "Pretty Little Liars," "Dancing With the Stars," and "X-Factor," as well as Super Bowl and Heisman Trophy-winning sports celebrities.

Just tap on any content unit in ConnecTV's "SocialTV Timeline" and it immediately springs to life, expanding to offer news, polls, play-by-play sports and more. Share with friends, sign up for upcoming show alerts, create a ConnecTV viewing party or chat with stars and other fans - all with one touch. Fans can access ConnecTV's new features free on smart phones, tablets and computers by downloading the ConnecTV app in the iTunes Store or at ConnecTV.com. The new SocialTV Timeline is also available for syndication by third parties as a simple module that works in smart phone and tablet applications as well as on web pages, allowing users anywhere to sync to TV across more than 400 channels.

The SocialTV Timeline showcases TV and sports stars as well as Internet celebrities chatting with fans in real time as they watch their favorite shows and games or in ConnecTV's Watercooler. Among the "guest stars" showcased in ConnecTV chat: Keegan Allen of ABC Family's "Pretty Little Liars," Val Chmerkovskiy of ABC's "Dancing With The Stars: All-Stars," Apollo Nida of Bravo's "Real Housewives of Atlanta," Beilee Madison co-star of Billy Crystal's "Parental Guidance," Chris Rene of Fox's "X-Factor," Super Bowl XXXIV champion and St. Louis Rams tight end Roland Williams, Heisman Trophy winner and legendary Oakland Raider Tim Brown and Internet celebrity Michael Buckley.

"ConnecTV is primarily focused on a great user experience that enhances television viewing - rather than distracting you from the ten foot experience by pulling your focus in dozens of different directions," said ConnecTV Co-Founder Ian Aaron. "By giving our million users - and growing fast - a companion experience to television programming and marketing that they can act on with one touch, ConnecTV leads the way in fast-forwarding television into a truly social and interactive medium."

"All the play-by-play action on the field now comes to life in real time on ConnecTV with a stream of deep stats, player bios, news and more," said former Oakland Raider Tim Brown, who chats with fans on ConnecTV. "Joining the conversation with my super sofa warriors or sports bar titans is the most fun way to watch every game."
