Verizon Brings Facebook and Twitter To Your TV

Recently, Verizon responded to the worldwide social networking obsession by integrating Facebook and Twitter widgets into their FiOS TV service. Now you can seamlessly watch your favorite TV show and browse through your Facebook friends or Twitter tweets all without getting off the couch. Nice.
But what if you can’t find the remote?? There’s an app for that. Verizon released an app that lets you use your handset as a remote control for FiOS. Unfortunately, this app is available exclusively for the Motorola Droid and the HTC Imagio.
Not for the iPhone?? Well, that’s a first. I’m guessing this is due to the fact that the iPhone is currently unavailable to Verizon customers, which might change this summer, but who really knows? Fortunately, you can use RedEye to control FiOS and any other IR devices you have (TV, surround sound, etc.) with your iPhone, iPad, or iTouch. Problem solved.
Additionally, Verizon has a DVR Manager App that allows you to browse through the channel guide, order videos on demand, record or delete content, etc. from anywhere that has wifi. Unlike the remote app, the DVR Manager is available for both the iPhone and Android platforms. Good job Verizon.
