The Tech Media in the US is abuzz the possibility of Google unveiling
its television plan today, in its ongoing annual developer conference,
Google I/O 2010. While FT.com had reported earlier this week that
Google is working with Intel and Sony to create a SMart TV platform,
tere have been many more reports about the possibility of Google
announcing it in the ongoing conference. Incidentally, its video sharng
site YouTube turned five three days back.
But a
post by a tech savvy TechCrunch
writer, Jason Kincaid actually all but confirmed it
an I/O press site for reporters like myself, giving us a concise
overview of what has been announced so far along with screenshots and
other supplementary material. One page, which contains all of the
announcements from Day 1 of I/O, has a URL fittingly ending with
“day-1-announcements”. Being the mastermind that I
am, I took it upon myself to switch the 1 to a 2, which led me to a
nearly identical site that was devoid of content, save for a few key
words:
“Insert
Android press release / TV press release”.
So
there you have it. There will be news around Android and a TV project
tomorrow. And take this as a warning, Google - no incredibly
obvious URL is safe from my sleuthing.
Reportedly, Google will use its mobile platform Android for the
purpose. Â
Facebook today has two billion views a day--that is twice the viewrship
of US's three prime time TV stations put together.
Generations of students of communications, media and journalism have
learnt that television is a cold or non-personal medium, going by the
classification of media guru Marshal McLuhan. Will Google TV--by the
way do not be too sure about the name; media kept calling
Android GPhone before its launch--change that?
