Yahoo Inc. has rolled out a list of partners to help the company bring the Internet and television together.
At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Yahoo said it has forged deals with Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., LG Electronics Inc., Sony Corp., Vizio, and others.
Applications will deploy for a wide array of Web activities, such as watching videos on Google Inc.'s YouTube.com, social networking on News Corp.'s MySpace.com, tracking stocks and sports teams, buying and selling on eBay, messaging friends using Twitter, or using e-mail or other Yahoo's applications.
Yahoo, which has lagged behind larger rival Google in the Web search market, plans to finesse the technology to also sell advertising, according to a report from Reuters.
