Controlling tv through the net

There's been several ways to vote on reality tv but, there's growing opportunities to further control tv/shows through the net.

http://controltv.com/
Was a 1,000 hour project that viewers could control Tristan Couvares live streamed on the net. Season 2 next year.

Is a new tv series "Bar Karma" wherein audience input is key. You can litterally post a line for the characters to say and, they might just say it. One person even sent in artwork that was used in the show.

Sounds like a radio station.  You call and request a cool song and the DJ says "I'll see what I can do", which means "no way in heck".

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish memes.

Well, I don't know about "bar Karma"s reliability yet. As I haven't fully participated in that thus far. I was involved with controltv though and, I missed a part of the live feed where the party participants did the twist. I addressed a well written request for it. They not only obliged but, they also put that part in a webisode. Plus, they remembered me enough that while I was watching the live feed they were gracious enough to put a vote option in specifically for me.
