Tweeting from your TV

One of the standout features of the widget is the ability to post new tweets. Using the TV remote can be a frustrating experience, though, as you have to use the directional pad to select letters on a virtual keyboard. This is one of those few times where you'll celebrate the fact that there's a 140-character limit. Luckily, the virtual keyboard has been laid out in alphabetical order as opposed to QWERTY to make the typing process somewhat friendlier.
