Will The Future of Search Be Televised?

From Search Insider: Would you believe the next Google-killer is coming from Samsung?

"Samsung doesn't refer to its See'N'Search set-top boxas a Google killer; that's generally a phrase used by the media to describe some technology you'll never hear from again. What Samsung is doing actually doesn't interfere with Google's current business model in the slightest, though it could spell competition going forward.

Mashable describes the new See'N'Search "as a set-top box that reads the closed captions on a television show, as well as listens for keywords, to search for related Internet articles to the content you are currently watching.

Engadget has posted a six-minute video demo from a Samsung exec. It's a good preview of where interactive TV is heading. "
