TV-a-Twitter

If you truly want your friends to always know what you're doing, the information flow has to be automated. People are only willing to type so much.

GPS-enabled Twitter clients for cell phones allow your friends to geolocate you — or at least your phone — so automated data delivery is definitely possible.

But that function just tells your friends where you're at. Not what you're doing.

What if you're just having a quiet night at home watching the telly and you want to tell your friends what you're watching? Right now you have to type in the name of a new program every time you change the channel. Imagine having a Twitter client for your TV that automatically updates your viewing activities.
