This morning Daniel Mann posts an article discussing the new frontier of “active-TV technology” and putting widgets onto your TV.

Mann’s article, “Social Networking and other Widgets delivered to the TV,” is best read as an overview of this new technology, and not as a step-by-step “how-to” article.

Mann, who is a TV technology and digital convergence adviser, has said “Active-TV technology does not belong to any one company. Many companies have collaborated to form an ecosystem of useful devices and services.” AMD is one of the larger players in this technology.

His site is a good place to dip your toes into this interesting new world.
