There are loads of startups trying to build a social TV experience that goes beyond checking in to your favorite TV shows. Now social TV app Peel is taking a stab at it, and it's aiming at one show in particular: American Idol.Now, the Peel app (which, to be clear, is not officially connected to the show in any way) will provide a parallel experience as you watch. As each contestant takes the stage, you can tap the screen to either boo or cheer them not just once, but as many times as you want. Maybe one cheer for their song choice, and then a boo as they stumble, and then three cheers as they hit a particularly tough note. A sliding bar shows how much you've booed and cheered, and you can boo and cheer and the judges as they rate the singers. And there's a button to tweet your thoughts as you follow along.
