We already have the first two, there won't ever be TV popup ads, and if by social media you mean Hulu then we already have that. I fail to see what you're sayin

- mikeryan 17y agoGood question, I'll try to explain. Currently there are a couple of emerging technologies that will allow you to add applications which overlay the video of the broadcast. These apps work primarily via your cable set top box. In San Francisco on Comcast HSN has an app which allows you to shop via remote. Comcast also has an app which will show you the caller id of a caller if you have Comcast Digital Voice on your TV. There are a lot of possibilities here to integrate apps such as Facebook or Twitter into your TV experience. Such as an application which can be pulled up via remote while watching a show and "rating" the show, or sharing the show with other friends using the same application. Or adding in-show "popup" style ad that comes up while you're watching a show. but your point is noted, perhaps I need to blog something with more background before this question makes sense.
