« Leaked Microsoft Pure and Turtle Smartphones, Nothing Great About Both of Them
Final PlayStation 3 Motion Controller Looks Like The Wiimote, Has Stupid Ball At The End Of It »

Facebook and Twitter have hit all time highs in terms of usage and popularity with Twitter recently hitting the $1 billion value. Both companies have been propelled by the advent of smartphone apps and widgets across other sites. What’s annoyed me most about many of these widgets is the devices they can now be found in, photo frames and televisions.

I don’t know about most users but I don’t want Facebook or Twitter on my TV, that’s what my computer and smartphone is for. For these manufacturing companies, it makes sense to include widgets of the most popular social networks in their devices, they become more attractive to buy but if you’re the consumer, do you really need your photo frame to display all your tweets or do you need to play with your FB account while watching TV?

It seems like people cry privacy everyday, yet they still want to be attached to these social networking sites through any available device. Next thing you know, it’ll be available in a state-of-the-art fridge or maybe your microwave. Why stop there, lets put it on the stove and toaster (I see this really happening). I use these social networking sites regularly but when I’m watching TV or looking at a photo frame, I don’t want to be looking at tweets from friends and followers, nor do I want to see the latest status update of a drunk friend.

Let me know where you stand on this issue. Are you for having social networking widgets on your TV and photo frame? What do you think will be the next household device to get social networking widgets attached to them?
