Happy New Year! – IMDB & Facebook Links

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

I’ve been working on a number of changes to the guide (which are now live) on my rainy days away from the Beach this Christmas :-) .

1. IMDB Links – Movies only for the moment but really handy when you can’t decide which film to watch.

2. Links to official programme pages. I have to find and add these manually so it will be some time before I have a comprehensive database.

3. Facebook Share Link – I really want to push the social aspect of watching telly and think this is a good first step.

4. Obscured programmes on the grid now scroll into view when clicked, vertically as well as horizontally.

4. Bug fixes great and small + a couple of performance tweaks.

Let me know if you find any of these helpful or there are any problems.

    Fantastic update as always. This is really becoming a gem of a web site! Whilst you manually add the web pages for each programme why not add a link to search for the programme title on a search engine? It could work in the same way as searching on IMDB does?

      Thanks, very good point.

      I really want to make sure that ‘semi automatic’ search links I include have a good success rate (like IMDB links do for movies). TV shows data on IMDB, especially some more obscure programmes, seems a bit slim at the moment.

      I want to make sure that any links I include provide real value and not clutter. Will look into it.
