Yahoo's "IntoNow" app is designed to be very social and represents an app that will be widely available in the coming year. It’s a program that listens to what program is on television and then offers relevant content.

Users start the app up by signing in with an e-mail, Facebook or Twitter account. After hitting a green button, "IntoNow" resembles the apps that tell what song is on the radio, except it figures out which television program is on and primarily serves up discussions people are having about the show at that moment or in the past.

If something like a football game is on television, the user will get stats, news articles and all sorts of related information.

Users who are logged in through Facebook can display what they are watching and see what friends are watching. It would allow groups of friends to potentially tune into the same thing and chat together in their own separate living room couches.

"IntoNow" for iOS and Android devices is free.

MadPad

A new social way to make music comes from the "MadPad" app by Smule, the same developers of the popular social music-making apps like "Ocarina" and "Magic Fiddle."

This app samples sounds from real life, and the kitchen is usually a good place to start. Once a user fills 12 tabs, he or she can start tapping away to create. Users can then share their creations and sound samples through social media or download samples others have made.

No sound in the world will go unnoticed by a "MadPad" fan. Every little tick, tap or hum will have you wondering how that would sound in your next masterpiece.

"MadPad" is right now for iOS devices only, and the iPhone and iPod Touch versions are $.99. The HD iPad app is $2.99.
