Social TV

Social networking is all the rage online, so it's only a matter of time before it moves offline. The legendary Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) is developing a new technology, Social TV, to enable geographically dispersed friends to chat and watch TV together, Business Week reports.

The Social TV project is in research stages right now. But the idea is that, with the help of a bit of software, perhaps a keyboard or two and several strategically-placed microphones, people can remotely discuss a TV program while they are watching it. You’ll be able to see which of your buddies is watching which program in his or her house, and join into the viewing. Or, you might start a program-watching session of your own and invite friends.
