Is Interactive TV About to Explode?
http://www.clickz.com/showPage.html?page=3629120
Seven out of 10 viewers surveyed by Harris Interactive last November
and December already utilize their remotes to make their television
watching experiences more dynamic. This includes scheduling DVR
recordings, scrolling through programming options, and requesting
content on demand. Research like this, coupled with such business
deals as TiVo joining forces with YouTube and Nielsen Company using
Charter Communications's set-top boxes to conduct their surveys may
hint that we're on the verge of an interactive TV explosion.

The Internet: It Might Kill TV Someday, But No Day Soon

Love it or hate it, TV, with millions of people on their butts
watching it, is sticking around for a while. And even when that evil
genius Steve Jobs converts his little hobby, AppleTV into something
useful - like a high definition set-top box with a built in DVR and a
broadband connection to the Internet, and even when he starts selling
HBO and other content a la carte over it - for most people, that box
will be in their living rooms, on their big screen with their butts on
their couches and recliners.

Google extends AdSense model to video overlays
http://informitv.com/articles/2008/02/21/googleextendsadsense/
Google is extending the InVideo advertising format it has pioneered on
YouTube, the video sharing site it now owns, and plans to extend it
across video partner sites in its content network. This will enable
advertisers to run a single contextually-targeted video overlay
campaign across a large network of sites.
