iPlayer Makes TV More Social, Without Re-Inventing The Social Network Wheel | paidContent:UK

May 26, 2010 by Einar Thorsen Leave a Comment

Robert Andrews:

Rose acknowledged it may be used only by early adopters but said it’s “the best feature” of the upgrade: “If i see Erik is watching EastEnders, I can join in and watch. The integration of chat with live TV has been the holy grail. This, for some, could transform the way they watch television.” The feature has missed today’s beta for Rose’s third-generation iPlayer, but is due in two to three weeks.

Shame that chat facility will be powered by Microsoft's Windows Live Messenger (or whatever it's called now).
