Everything about technology amazes me; from the actual gadget all the way to the background behind that technology. What if you were able to Tweet straight from your TV while you are watching your favorite shows? I have been reading about a new service that is available from Verizon FiOS. What is Verizon FiOS?
Verizon FiOS products are delivered over a Fiber to the premises network using passive optical network technology. Voice, video, and data travel over three wavelengths in the infrared spectrum.
In other words, technology is growing so fast and is getting faster and is able to meet more of our needs. This means SPEED.

I never thought that a service like this would be available, let alone possible. If you’re watching your favorite TV show, you can actually log into Twitter on your TV and see what people are Tweeting live about that show as you’re watching in real time. If you are big in to Twitter, you probably are amazed like I am. This is so cool to even have the capability to do this! If you are on your TV, you can even connect to Facebook or anywhere on the internet; straight from your TV.
Video that’s in demand is available on-demand from Verizon FiOS TV. Recent programming additions to the company’s all-fiber-optic FiOS TV service have increased its Video on Demand (VOD) collection to more than18,000 titles per month. That’s nearly twice the VOD offering from the country’s largest cable provider.
In recent months Verizon also has added some 1,000 new high-definition titles to FiOS TV VOD — expanding its collection by 70 percent — to give subscribers a choice of more than 2,400 monthly VOD programs in HD.
“When it comes to watching what you want, when you want, FiOS TV is the clear choice over cable,” said Tricia Lynch, vice president of video-on-demand programming at Verizon. “Our all-fiber network delivers the ultimate VOD experience, with stunning picture and sound, pure HD, and a wide variety of programming for everyone in the family.”
Just last month, Verizon enhanced FiOS TV VOD with new HD on-demand content from HBO, Cinemax, Starz and The Movie Channel, along with an additional 140 hours of movies on-demand from Encore.
FiOS TV offers a broad collection of programming, with 500 all-digital channels, including more than 123 HD channels.
Are you in to, or is your husband, in to Fantasy Football? My hubby sure is! What if you were able to have the ability to do your Fantasy Draft and keep tabs on your Fantasy Football? This service also offers an innovative Interactive Media Guide that provides next-generation, personalized interactive services, including free Facebook and Twitter social media applications, news and entertainment widgets, ESPN Fantasy Football, a robust search engine, and many other features. Here is a video to show more about Verizon FiOS

Wow, I am so blown away by this fantastic Verizon FiOS Technology! I think it is genius and will add such an exciting and entertaining element to the way we view our favorite genre of shows and movies on TV! It is so amazing to me how far we come in today’s modern technology in terms of what we can so through social networking when combined with the latest and greatest technology and I cannot even imagine in another few years what we will be able to do next! I can see using Verizon FiOS for so many of our favorite television type shows! First and foremost I can see us as a family enjoy sports like footballs and baseball and being able to interest on twitter with people from all over the world as we watch! But, how about the upcoming Olympics??!! I mean how amazing will that be to be able to watch the Olympics where our finest athletes are competing from all over the world and being able to tweet with unique people from all over the world as we all experience them together, it leaves me speechless to think about the possibilities.
I can envision myself and my family using Verizon FiOS as we watch any type of show, as long as it is a show which we find compelling and interesting as well as entertaining. It can be everything from watching HGTV and sharing decorating tips with our twitter friends as we watch one of the many great home decor shows, or listening to CNN news as it breaks and discussing what is going on as the news is being unveiled to us.
I am getting so excited just at the thought of all the different types of shows I would love to interact with my twitter friends about!
Thank you so much for the chance to enter.
What an intriguing technology. I think it would be fun to watch episodic tv like Lost or Heroes and get others’ opinions while it’s on.
Verizon FIOS just came to my neighborhood. I have not tried it yet since I have a contract with Cox that needs to run out, but I will be checking it out when the time comes. Honestly, I rarely watch TV and when I do it is the news, so I cannot imagine interacting with Twitter while watching it.

I’m another technology lover, and I think it would be neat to watch my favorite show ‘True Blood’ in Verizon Fios HD while checking out the tweets from other True Blood fans in real time, that’s so cool!

I’m impressed with all the new things Verizon FiOS is offering, I’m looking into switching over to it. I would use it during Big Brother
Thanks!!!
I live in a very, very rural area and our Verizon repair guy (yes, we’re so rural it’s always the same guy lol) said we wouldn’t be seeing FiOS for a very long time, if ever. I hope Verizon proves him wrong because I can see us watching “Dancing With The Stars” while posting on Twitter!
Verizon FIOS is a great service. So many channels, such reception and speed for browsing. All this at a competitive price.
Its not currently available in my immediate area. I’ve put myself on a list to be contacted when it becomes available. I’ll gladly dropkick Comcast to the curb then.
I’d love to dump my current provider for Fios but not available around here yet – and none, i have no interest in twitter or facebook, they can completely disappear and wouldn’t miss them for an instant
http://twitter.com/miriama59/status/5217869034 and yes, I follow them.
I have been thinking a lot about Verizon FiOS. I have Comcast and, well, nuff said.
I would probably use it while my family watches Spongebob.
I forgot to write what I think about it – I think it’s a fabulous product that I could really use! and of course, as said before, I’d use it while watching Top Chef on Bravo.
I’d use it while watching Top Chef.
I would use in watching Survivor and American Idol being the reality junkie I am.

It sounds awesome! I would definitely use it. My friend and I are huge ‘Glee’ fans and have parties on Wednesday nights and would most likely ues it during ‘Glee’ more than any other show.
I would love to be more connected. I would love to get caught back up with Rescue Me, House and Dexter. To be able to interact with others at the same time is pretty cool!
I would love to watch Dexter on Showtime!

This really sounds like a great idea, would love to talk while watching my favorite movie!
http://twitter.com/Grandma3710/status/5201623480
Verizon FIOS is super quick and cool. My movie would be King Kong.
What an interesting idea! I would love chat while watching fun reality shows like The Amazing Race.
I have heard good things about FIOS, I am a verizon wireless customer and very happy so I know they have good customer service. I would watch Eureka.
I would love to watch Project Runway while commenting with others. Thanks!
This sounds like such an amazing idea. I would love to tweet while watching Heroes (NBC).

I would love to try Verizon FiOS and I wold love to watch Bones.
Verizon FiOS is an awesome way to keep up with all your interests while on the go. I would watch Public Enemies with Johnny Depp.

Wow, this sounds so sci-fi!!! I would use it while watching the Amazing Race, So You Think You Can Dance or Survivor, what a hoot! You could all guess the end result and see who’s right. This would be a wonderful x-mas present for just about anyone. Thanks for a great giveaway!

Verizon: I have been restricted with Verizon for over 16 years. It was awful, Verizon was cheap value while costing 3- 4x as much as I was used to spend. FiOS: sounds Great IF it delivers. What show/movie: classics, animated, I am a movie person so lots of movies.
great idea and would watch Australia since I haven’t seen it yet

Verizon FiOS is an amazing product that will make watching television a social activity even if you are the only person at home! Definitely without a doubt I would use this to watch the television show LOST because there is always SO much to discuss and theorize with each and every episode. Can’t wait for the last season to start next year. This would be a great Christmas present to any Lost fan!
I would chat with my friends on Twitter and Facebook while watching Ugly Betty, Top Chef and Project Runway!

We have Verizon Fios, changed to it about 8 months ago and love it! The movie that I would love to see is Notebook. One of my favorite movies.
This is such a great prize. I’ve been eyeing this Flip cameras for quite awhile and would love one of these. Thanks so much.

I think FIOS sounds awesome! I would love to have it on our TV. I would like to watch NFL football with my hubby on FIOS since I am not a big movie fan.
I have Verizon Fios internet, tv and phone service. I did not know about being able to access the internet from the tv… I don’t think I have that feature. At this point we don’t have the movies on demand option either. I could see looking at Twitter during programs that don’t take a lot of concentration for the viewer..for me it would be Top Chef and Project Runway.
Verizon FIOS seems too good to be true. It offers speed, massive availability, vast choices, and much much more. They are now putting up the cables in our area to support this because more and more people want to have it. I would definitely be watching Grey’s Anatomy while on the social network. So much drama and twists to discuss. And when the show is not that good, discussion is still great! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love Verizon FIOS. I didn’t realize how much until we were briefly lured away to a different service. The channel selection is better and the DVR is beyond compare.
I could see myself tweeting during an interview type show or a political debate.

It would be fun to watch CSI and then tweet while its going on who you think is the killer.
I like the fact that you can pause shows in one room and resume watching in another, a nice extra. I like watching Nip Tuck on FX.
A bunch of us follow Dancing with the stars and Survivor, I’d love to have a a Twitter Party while watching either of those

My husband and I recently just moved into a neighborhood that had access to Verizon FIOS and we were SO excited for it… we went in and had a free consultation and made an appt to have Verizon come and set it up. Unfortunately, we bought a condo in a house where 2 units(half of the house) did not sell… the “owners” of the house wouldn’t allow us to drill a hole on the outside of the house, therefore we got stuck with Comcast.

I’d love to watch LOST on Verizon FIOS. That way maybe others could help catch me up on what’s going on that I’ve missed. What a cool program!
Verizon FIOS is fabulous. We don’t have it yet at home, but our friends and family who do have it love it. I could definitely see myself tweeting my way through the upcoming season of Lost!
I think the fios is an awesome concept. I would love to see other people’s input on the tv shows I’m currently watching. Plus I’d love to discuss things that are going on with those people. It is so crazy how technology is constantly becoming more and more advanced!
I would definitely use fios while watching the tv show LOST. Every time I watch that show, I get so confused at what is going on (gotta love it) and really want to talk to everyone I know about what is going on. LOST has such a dedicated fanbase so I’d assume the fios community would always be chattering about the secret meanings and little things I may have missed. plus we can all be lost together!
