Yahoo showcases its services for internet television
Yahoo wants a piece of the pie that is the growing market of internet enabled television sets.
The company showcased some new technologies and products through its Connected TV group.
Yahoo is working with leading tech giants like Samsung, Sony, LG Electronics, and Vizio to provide widget based online services on television sets.
Patrick Barry, vice president of Yahoo’s Connected TV division spoke about their services: “Yahoo has combined key attributes of the Internet, including openness, community and personalization, with the power of television. By creating this revolutionary new Internet experience and combining our technology with the global distribution of major consumer electronics partners, we enable consumers to access the relevant information and content to enhance their television-watching experience.”
Yahoo already has a product named Yahoo Widget Engine and it can soon be available on your television set.
The company said that these special TV Widgets would appear at the bottom of the screen and would display information fetched from the internet.
