Users in our Verizon FiOS TV forum indicate that Verizon has taken the wraps off a slew of social networking widgets for FiOSTV they've been showing journalists and bloggers for much of the last year. The widgets integrate Facebook, Twitter, and ESPN functionality, while also giving users access to a slew of new video content. According to the Verizon press release, Veoh, blip.tv, and Dailymotion will join the new content partnership, dubbed the "widget bazaar," later this month. Other additional "widgets" will be added in the coming months by Verizon and content partners.

I second that. Stop padding everything to keep the same price.

Re: you can....

Bobcat can only get maybe 8 stations where he lives and they're all PBS. He won't spend the money for the high power antennae either.

What about the video beta?

When are they going mainstream with that?

For those curious, they've got a new beta of the Media Manager software - which expands on the current version's ability to stream pictures and music to the TV and adds HOLY CRAP IT ADDS AVI AND MP4 AND FLV MOVIES OMFG!!!!!

I'm testing it right now. WORKS WONDERFULLY over a wifi connection, and I'm setting up a box wired to the router that's just going to stream stuff to the DVR. AMAZING WORK VERIZON!!!!! Very impressive!

Re: What about the video beta?

Shep Smith isn't right-wing. Neither is Greta Van Sustren.

Granted, there are more people who agree with right-wing politics on FNC than MSNBC, but at least when FNC is giving you opinion, they'll make it clear that it's opinion (which MSNBC doesn't do and never has done). Example: Kelly's Court.

Re: What about the video beta?

It's an open beta - you have to log into the site from home, look for the "Internet Video Beta" thing on the left hand side of the screen.

They get widgets I get crap

And yet my Comcast STB has an interface on it that looks like it is from the early 90s.

Terrible.

Agreed.

Verizon Fios is the most innovative video provider hands down. Would have it in a heartbeat if it was offered where I live.

You don't see any cable provider innovate the way Verizon and AT&T are. Even AT&T's U-Verse UI looks so much more modernized and up to date than Cable. Not just Comcast in general, but all cable operators, especially those running SARA on Scientific Atlanta boxes. (Passport is much better on SA equipment).

What is a ass, is people who fail to google up something just to make a remark.

How about a widget for lazy people too.

well..

I agree, if I want to use facebook, Ill just hop on the computer, or use my iPod. I'd rather Verizon focus on adding more (HD) channels and content.
