Sharing

Here’s a thought: If you could have your television remote control or DVR box share your activity with your friends via something like Facebook Connect would you enable that functionality? We seem to have no problem sharing what we’re doing online, with some offline activity bleeding into that as well as we publish online what we’re doing in the real world. But there it’s mostly selective sharing – I’m not going to tell everyone that I just spent 10 minutes petting the cat because, well, I don’t choose to. So would people make different choices on what to watch if they knew that if they stayed on a channel for more than 5 minutes the fact they were watching that program would be broadcast everywhere? Just something that has me thinking today.
