Exclusive: Twitter and Facebook widgets coming to FiOS TV

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, HDTV, Home Entertainment, Internet,

Earlier we posted a fairly in-depth piece looking at some of the upcoming FiOS TV features, but we figured some of you might just be interested in this juicy tidbit. We know a bunch of you are addicted to Twitter and/or Facebook, and if you are a Verizon FiOS TV subscriber, you’ll be interested to know that both are going to be integrated into your television viewing experience by way of widgets.

The Twitter integration is particularly cool, as the widget will give you a look at what people are saying about the show you are currently watching. Could be fun for sports, or reality shows. Not so much for Keeping Up with the Kardashians (hat tip to Jason on that one.)

We have no timeline for when the widgets will be pushed out, but we do know that they are currently in beta.
