LocateTV Blog

Thanks to Jeffro and his “blog about stuff” for the generous review of LocateTV that you can find here.
Highlights of the article (as far as we’re concerned!) include Jeffro’s statement that:
“If you’re blogging about a particular television show that you watched or you have seen something worth recommending, chances are, other folks would also like […]

Now, our development team are an incredibly glamorous bunch. When not slaving day and night to fix every glitch and deeply consider every fragment of feedback thrown to them by our private beta testers, they love to sling on a sharp suit, watch an old cult movie in an arthouse cinema, and then dance the […]

The Stage is a bit of an institution in the UK. Many a time have I sat on a London tube and watched a pretty, shiny, anxious young creature dolled up for an audition avidly scouring the print version of this entertainment rag. The online version is equally well-informed, and particularly strong thanks to its […]

It appears as though all the recent time spent improving the performance and stability of LocateTV has starting paying off. Following a late night, load testing session yesterday, the measured response times for both returning search results and serving show information appear substantially faster, compared to the beginning of the week. We hope that our […]

It’s been interesting to see how our private beta users are using LocateTV’s multi-region coverage. For example, some testers are switching to US mode to find out about the early DVD releases already available there, or because they have a Region 1 DVD player. This has lead to a request for users to see […]

Scott Vine’s been blogging about LocateTV over at Information Overlord (including posting a couple of neat embeds, such as House - who doesn’t love Hugh Laurie in grizzled crippled genius mode?) Pushing on through despite the speed issues we’ve been having (thanks for being patient kids), Scott seems to think the site has good potential […]

Media pioneer and all-round web entertainment guru Vlad Lodinski has posted a great article about LocateTV on his mediavladski blog. As an expert in his field, it’s great to know that he sees Locate as really filling a gap in the market:

He’s already let us know that he thinks searching by genre to be […]

Conversation about LocateTV is already beginning to leak into the blogosphere thanks to our private beta testers.

We’ve had a nice mention on internet search specialist Phil Bradley’s blog, where he embeds a Heroes widget and considers that LocateTV has made a ‘good’ start with an ‘interesting’ concept. Of course, he points out that there’s still […]

I found the time to watch Die Hard 4.0 recently and have felt surprisingly motivated ever since. I really enjoyed the non-stop action antics of Bruce Willis and found the hacker theme throughout perfectly suited to my, ahem, geekier sensibilities. Perfect casting of Justin Long as the expert hacktivist — he definitely brought along the […]

As we said in yesterday’s post, the vast majority of our private beta feedback involves enriching and refining the quality of our basic search function.
Long gone are the days when deciding between Google, Yahoo and Lycos to power your search seemed like a heady choice. We’re only too aware that the search engine market is […]
