I remember! One minute I was standing there saying, "hey, with this stuff you'll be able to extend your telly using standard Web technologies..." (http://www.slideshare.net/danbri/introducing-joost-widgets-2007-talk-presentation etc) ... the next minute things took a rather different direction. Ah well, sorry if I gave anyone the wrong impression :) There are now a few other tv platforms around doing widgets, but I'm lately thinking the more interesting scenarios make use of 2-way links with second screens (phones, eventually tablets and tabletops). Having on-screen 3rd party widgets is cool, but to really justify it you need content that's going to stick around in stable form long enough to accumulate annotations, metadata, and other fun decorations... cheers, Dan - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
