Manufacturers of new Internet TVs are now striking multiple deals with popular sites like Yahoo and YouTube.
“Channel surfers use their TV remote to select little icons known as widgets to access content like weather reports, stock updates, breaking news or online photo albums—which appear in a box, usually on one side of the screen. Samsung, for one, recently added widgets for using Twitter, getting real-time sports scores from USA Today and playing games like Sudoku or QuizzMaster.”
