In the next few months Yahoo will be debuting its Yahoo! Go TV, a new product that will bring the Internet to PC-connected TVs. Go TV integrates consumers Internet services, including video search and photos, into the television. Yahoo! will also look to make the company's music offerings available through this new service. Go TV will also improve consumers' ability to navigate and find all the content available on their television. For example, users will be able to use their remote control to see what's playing at their local theater or share pictures from a recent vacation with friends. The service will be available to through a downloadable application that will run on any PC connected to a TV and work with any remote control.

RBR observation:
We're not sure how this service will prompt anyone to run out and connect their PCs to their TV sets. Usually, these two ubiquitous devices are far apart in the home. However, the Yahoo community is large and who knows, they may get a few people willing to run these long cords.
