Social Movies | FoxPop

Spot411 has developed an application called FoxPop that adds interactive elements to your movie watching experience. You can download FoxPop on your computer (it’s built using Adobe AIR so you can use it on Mac or PC) or use the free iPhone app that launches on December 1.

When you first start up the app, it looks like a regular or Facebook client. You can login with your credentials, send messages and see what others are doing or saying. However, the cool part is what happens when you start a FoxPop compatible movie. The software identifies what film is playing based on audio (so you can use the iPhone app while watching a movie in your home theater or the desktop app while watching on your laptop or desktop) and immediately skins itself to match the film.

It then begins to blast you with insider info, reviews, actor info, and trivia all within the context of the movie you are currently watching. Nice idea though currently content is limited to a few movies, more to follow though, I’m sure.
