Intel and Yahoo Develop Widgets for TV


One of the trends which few can argue against is the convergence of media vehicles and their eventual digitization.

Yesterday's announcement from Yahoo and Intel support that trend and show that the internet and TV will continue to merge.

I would think of this as the evolution of the ticker that scrolls on the bottom of the screen on channels like CNN. Just as RSS feeds and Email is becoming more personal, so will this scrolling ticker on TV. Therefore, the stock quotes, sports scores, and news feeds will all be similar to how the user may have customized them for their computer viewing experience.

Yet again WPP is going to be a leading partner in the channel.
Worrying!
