DISQUS

Hi, I'm from the team at LocateTV and would like to point out that we do something a little different to TV Guide Online. LocateTV lets you search for where and when an actor, programme or film is on TV, online or DVD (not just the net), specific to your region - UK as well as US. The focus is on professional content rather than web clips or virals and we've purposefully steered away from the gossip/poll model to keep it very clean and Google-like.

Our aim is to point you to wherever you want to get a piece of content, not host it, and provide embeds for people to share this dynamically updated information on their MySpace pages, blogs, forums etc - let them be their own listings hub!

We do plan other features when launched (we've just gone into public beta) such as customisable pages, RSS feeds etc but at the moment we're keeping it as clean as possible.

Be good to hear if people think this is fulfilling a different purpose to the TV Guide model, especially in relation to the embeds - and if they think we're going in the right direction by keepnig it 'Google-like' rather than the branded, do-everything 'clout' of something like TV Guide.

Huzzah for TV Guide - they're always ahead of their game.
