StumbleUpon Ports Web Video to Wii

Web site recommendation service StumbleUpon said that along with the redesigned version of its video section that debuted Tuesday, it will begin offering a version of that portion of the site compatible with the Nintendo Wii's integrated Opera browser. Navigation of the site will be done through the controller, the company said, and will allow the user to search, view, rate, and recommend videos.

"Sending video from the web to the TV is something that no shortage of companies are doing or are seeking to do," technology pundit Michael Arrington said of the new service. "I've thought for some time that establishing content deals with hardware makers was the way to do this - but the more ways we see it happen, the more convinced I am that total openness is inevitable."
