Intel and Yahoo are planning to make television more user friendly. Both have decided to add online capabilities into TV programs.Intel senior vice president Eric Kim said that they are working on "Widget Channel".

This channel will use computer programs for adding online features to television shows and advertising. Twitter, Toshiba, Samsung, eBay, CBS, Blockbuster, and Disney-ABC Television Group and some other companies are developing Widget for Yahoo and Intel.

Intel has developed “system on a chip” which will be used in electronic devices like set-top boxes and digital TVs. Yahoo will provide software support for the desktops and phones. Yahoo News, Yahoo Finance and Flickr will be provided by Yahoo’s Widget.

This move will virtually transfer internet on Television. Yahoo and Intel are also planning to tie up with television manufacturers and third-party software developers. Yahoo will enable the Cinematic Internet ecosystem which will prove very much beneficial for consumers, device makers, advertisers and publishers.

The largest cable TV provider, Comcast is also keen to provide widget technology into its set-top box standard with the help of Intel.
