In a move that in some circles counts as "throwing its weight behind" Intel's
CE3100 Widget platform, the president of Disney-ABC Television Group mentioned that shows like
Good Morning America and
Lost could benefit from
interactive TV apps. Without commiting to any action, citing unspecified legal issues that could throw a wrench in any such move, they envision real time voting or commenting onscreen or additional clues for the more-than-convoluted-enough-already-thank you
Lost mysteries. From here at least it's hard to see Intel's chips making enough headway to justify such support this season, but based on recent
Grey's Anatomy plot twists or the Geico
Cavemen TV show we can easily see a desperate ABC desperately seeking some kind of partnership in lieu of improving the quality of its content.
