It's an ambitious undertaking because past attempts to "converge" the online and TV worlds have sputtered. Yahoo's Web TV offering, which the company said will be free of charge, is centered on so-called "widgets" -- or small Internet applications -- that are lined up along the bottom of the screen. By design, the widgets offer only a slice of the online experience and not a complete Web interaction. For example, there is no standard Web browser, and a conscious effort was made to avoid applications that involve typing. Moreover, perhaps the most common online activity, Web search, is not offered for now. Whether consumers will find such a limited online service attractive remains to be seen. Yahoo plans to make money off advertising, although the company will roll it out carefully. "We want users to fall in love with the service before we bombard them with ads," said Patrick Barry, vice president of connected TV at Yahoo. NORMAL ONLINE ACTIVITIES Barry emphasized that the Internet experience is designed to never overshadow the TV's content. Users will be able to stream videos from YouTube, check news, share photos, and do many other normal online activities. Yahoo formally unveiled the service at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. The company managed to convince a number of consumer electronics heavyweights to include the widget service in their future products, announcing partnerships with companies including Samsung Electronics Co, LG Electronics Inc and Sony Corp. The service will be included in TVs being shipped in North America and to 10 countries in Europe, Yahoo said. The Web TV initiative was originally jointly announced last summer by Yahoo and Intel Corp. But Intel's CE 3100 chip will be used only in Internet-enabled TVs and devices offered by Toshiba, and a set-top box from Samsung, the company said. Wilfred Martis, director of Intel's digital home group, emphasized that the partnerships announced at CES were only the start of the initiative. "This is the beginning of this huge sea change in the consumer electronics space ... . There have been a lot of false starts in this industry but I think we now have critical mass between content providers, service providers, OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), silicon providers. Everybody is working together."  Continued...
