One company has patented a system that allows access to social networks, including facebook, without leaving the comfort of the couch. It may do for TV and remote control
The idea was patented earlier this year, but only released this week. Describes a platform that will use networks like Twitter and Facebook through a remote control that sends the content to the network without the user having direct interaction with the screen.
The novelty is that this remote control is designed for IBM to be used while watching television. "This device allows viewers to talk with the networks about programming they are watching. One of the things we most enjoy is to discuss and debate as we watch our favorite shows and this option will allow us to do immediately with people around the world "company sources said, according to U.S. media published.
In addition, they clarify that viewers receive responses to their comments, as happens in any existing network. Even, they add, as the viewer changes the channel.
The goal of IBM is to provide a more active role in the revolution that represent social networks.
However, the document lists the project and the patent gives no indication of when the release or if IBM plans to market it.

A man finds and knows his brothers through Facebook
A 38-year U.S. tracked through the social networking site Facebook with his two brothers, who did not know it was given up for adoption shortly after birth and had no concrete information about her mother, reported Monday the Daily News.
Jonathan Frank, a shopkeeper who lives in Bayonne, in the state of New Jersey, discovered the names of his brothers, John Martino and Janine, last week, and on Sunday met the three first.
"Facebook is awesome. I feel great, like I just won the lottery," he says in the pages of Frank, who has two daughters and for years has tried to locate her birth mother, who only knew the maiden name.
Frank, who claims to have lived a difficult childhood in New York City neighborhoods of Queens and the Bronx, knew from age five he was adopted.
"I had a void in his heart," says the man, who even came to hire the services of a private detective to track down the woman who gave up for adoption.
It found that Frank's birth mother died three years ago because of liver cancer, but told him that he had two sons, John Martino and Janine.
The U.S. tried to locate them by various means without success, until they realized that one of the 226 John Martin found that Facebook had a friend named "Janine", so decided to write a message and tell his story.
"I know you're my brother or not, or if you're looking for, but for my whole life I've been waiting for this moment," wrote Frank, who just an hour later he received a brief reply in which his brother gave him a number telephone and asked her to call.
John's father and Janine Martino confirmed the story of Jonathan Frank at once and even told them that shortly before his death, the mother of three got a message on a website dedicated to try to find the son she gave up for adoption was more than four decades.
