Last.FM for TV Shows

Neat idea, will use! It took a few minutes to work out how the site is supposed to be used though and can't find any sort of introduction tour, I didn't realise at first I must 1st follow a show, then it'll list the episodes for me to mark as watched. I think they're right about the fantastic interface, the show pages are extremely well built and it's possible to get all the needed info instantly: eg http://followmy.tv/shows/18318/The_Big_Bang_Theory

It's cool and all but what is the difference from http://www.mytvshows.org or even http://www.boxee.tv/ ?

I believe that last.fm works because it scrobbles what you've listened without you ever noticing. Having to manually mark an episode as "watched" is a big hassle and will never work well.

So this is a good idea, that implemented some nice features but that is not solving the main problem. Boxee solves that problem but misses these satellite features.

I would have to agree with you. It is not last.fm because there is no scrobbler. What would really be interesting is a scrobbler that worked across all platforms including browsers. As far as I know Boxee's solution forces you to use their software to watch videos if you want to have them scrobbled.

Hi everyone, so i'm the founder of followmy.tv

Very cool to see followmy.tv suddenly appear on hackernews.

Thanks for the feedback so far, about the scrobbler question, we are planning to integrate with a bunch of software to make it easier to "check off" episode.

Keep the feedback coming, it's highly appreciated.

I'm a longtime user, probably one of the first. This has proven to be a vast asset for me to track tv shows.

One negative point though is that since I've discovered this app my tv shows I follow probably increased threefold, which at times has had its consequences regarding productivity :p
