Create Your Own V Commentary on ABC.com

ABC.com is about to unwrap a nifty new online feature that will allow you to create and share your own commentary on ABC shows.

It all begins on November 7 with the first episode of V.

From the look of the graphic, it’s only written commentary, pop-up video style (I was hoping for audio). It appears that once you start typing in the box, the video pauses so you don’t have to hurry to finish your thought.

When they launch this Saturday, V: The Pilot will go live with feature commentary from “V” executive producers Scott Peters and Steve Pearlman.

If you want to add your thoughts, you need to log in to Facebook Connect. Here’s how ABC explains it:

To create and share their own fan commentary tracks, participants can go to ABC.com and log on using their Facebook account. As they view an episode in Commentary Mode, they can simultaneously add their own comments and read expert commentary, as well as see comments from their Facebook friends. Actions taken on ABC.com will be shared in the viewer’s Facebook stream, alerting friends to view the episode online and add their own comments.

Pretty cool, huh? It’s kind of like podcasting but with a visual! I can’t wait to try out this new gizmo. It goes live on November 7, and if you create a commentary track, come back here and tell us about it so we can check it out.
