Big Question

How would you create it now, 7 years later?

But first an important distinction

Web & TV, does it refer to

• Web technology for use in TV environments, like HbbTV and HybridCast?

or

• Web coolness to leverage great quality content in ways unforseen?

As a smart TV app

• Will it ever scale to multiple vendors?
• Will it get any cooler?
• How about privacy?

Smartphone in charge

So in a way

The TV is the second screen!

(this was supposed to be a revelation but then there was the Second Screen Presentation CG)
