Abstract
A method for synchronizing information includes generating media corresponding to a program. One or more media timestamps are associated with the media. Data corresponding to the program is also generated. One or more data timestamps are associated with the data. At least a portion of the media is provided for presentation on a computing device. A current media timestamp corresponding to currently playing media is received. Data having a greatest data timestamp that is less than or equal to the current media timestamp is identified based at least in part on a comparison of the current media timestamp to the one or more data timestamps. The identified data is provided for presentation on the computing device.
