American Idol Trivia Game

News.com reports on some new mobile services offered by Fox to support American Idol.

Cingular Wireless has announced a bunch of Idol features for customers. Among the Idol-on-your-phone attractions: a wireless fan club; a vote number reminder that sends text messages listing all the idols and their codes; Idol trivia (just how many times did Simon utter the word "dreadful" during season three?); and ring tones.

I've been dreaming about creating a real-time Trivia game that's based on watching the behavior of people on a broadcast TV show. That game mechanic has the potential to take TV-viewing in a new and promising direction.
