Google TV – Bringing the web to your TV
More and more now we use our laptops or PC’s to surf the net and watch the latest programmes online through live streaming. Unfortunately this is not as enjoyable as watching on your 40″ Plasma or 32″ LCD. Google are looking to change that and are attempting to combine these 2. This has been tried before but with Google’s domination of online media if anyone can succeed then it is them.
Google TV will allow a user to directly search for the programmes that they want to watch and it will find it. You can then add them to your home screen which will show your favourite channels, shows, websites, photo albums and playlists. It will also feature a full web browser with unlimited access to the internet so shouldn’t mean too much of a change to the SEO industry apart from getting those videos ranking.
You don’t actually have to buy a new TV for this but you will most likely need a WIFI or internet connection to access GTV. Google is working with Sony and Logitech for the Google TV-powered devices and it should come out later this year. Google hasn’t announced the price yet so to keep up-to-date, sign-up to this page http://www.google.com/tv/ for the incoming updates.
