BLOBwise uses social networks to generate personalized content recommendations directly on TV screens
Neptuny and TVBLOB announce „BLOBwise“, the first Social TV Recommendation System for over-the-top IPTV. Based on Neptuny’s ContentWise engine, „BLOBwise“ along with a Telsey BLOBbox radically change what’s possible on TV: users expand their range of content options including EPG, podcasts, pay-per-view VOD, and other Internet TV channels and services, plus experience never before possible social interactivity on TV. The potential of the recommendation engine will be demonstrated at IPTV World Forum London (25-27 March) at Neptuny booth #352 and the BLOBbox can be seen at Telsey booth #19. TVBLOB integrated the ContentWise technology in the BLOBbox middleware, making it accessible to a whole new range of TV-centric consumer electronics devices that promise average television viewers new freedom in using their televisions by letting them directly tap into the explosion of content and services available on the Internet. Content recommendation applications that leverage Facebook and BLOBwise are planned to be publicly availabile this summer. TVBLOB has released a free, open source SDK available at BLOBforge [http://www.blobforge.com], an Open Source TV Development Community that lets developers invent new services for TV while using standard web technologies like Java, Ajax, HTML and open Web technologies. |
