More on TV chat
Today I have been thinking again about chat combined with TV.
This seems to me to be a crucial way of making TV more social. Good integration of chat should help us to:
- Find out what our friends are watching, through chat status
- Share live experiences with friends, through actual chat
The challenge is to make the inevitable interruptions acceptable. I'm quite sure that many people see TV as a way to get away from the constant need to interact.
A few of us played with mixing TV and twitter, during the BBC/Yahoo Hackday last month. The result was twitup, very much a hack, but quite interesting. It needs some work to become a real service (like some up to date schedule data, to start with. I hope we find the time.
