We’re not sure exactly how big Twitter’s going to be on an HDTV, since its already on everywhere else from phones to laptops, but that’s the new thing over at Panasonic. Aside from featuring support for other common net-connected HDTV services such as Skype, YouTube, News and weather service updates, and Netflix and Pandora support, you can now view and post Tweets using a Viera CAST HDTV in your living room. In case you somehow lost your phone, can’t access Twitter using a computer, or don’t mind seeing your buddy’s “taking a dump” status message flash on your fancy big screen.
The new Twitter service will be available across Panasonic’s Viera CAST line of internet-enabled TVs, including the VT and G-series plasma models. So yeah, if you dished out upwards of $1,700 for a 42-inch plasma HDTV, you won’t really mind having extra features, right? (Actually, if you dished out $1,700 for a 42-inch plasma, you’ve earned the right to Tweet from your TV, buddy!) Twitter support doesn’t end there though; according to Panasonic, they’re also going to add the feature to their net-connected Blu-ray players soon.
