Today Verizon Fios updated my cable box again. Apparently they added new widgets; one allows me to see what friends are posting on Facebook and another allows me to see what’s popular right now on Twitter. So I tried it out. Its pretty awesome.
Right now I can only update my Facebook Status with what I’m watching (if you’re reading this within the day or two I’m posting this you can check out my status at: http://www.facebook.com/rosy1280…you will have to become my friend of course). Eventually they have plans to update it so you can do more.
Verizon Fios Facebook Interface
The Twitter interface isn’t as exciting. I can see trending topics, tweets on the show I’m watching, and I can search tweets. It would be awesome if I could log in to Twitter and see what people are doing like I can with Facebook, but hopefully that’s coming.

So yes. My cable company rocks. And anyone who says differently is just jealous :P
