Techcrunch covers an upgrade to the Web 2.0 television guide site MeeVee. It’s a service that offers….a television guide….I’m so under whelmed, after all it’s something MSN and Yahoo to name but a few have been offering for years, not to forget hundreds of other sites. But it’s Web 2.0 I hear people saying, it’s innovative! Bullsh*t, it’s a TV guide, and it’s a TV guide that only covers the US as well, so before they’ve even started they’ve excluded hundreds of millions of potential users. But it has Ajax I can hear others saying! We’ll so does the TV guide I use at Yahoo7. But it does social search, allowing you to find shows you might not know about! Wow (not), so does Torrentspy But it’s going to be big in the tech/ Web 2.0/ first adopters crowd you might well say? well isn’t this the exact same crowd that is abandoning television for video on demand and the internet.

I give it 6 months at the most. Probably less. It’s some how got an Alexa ranking of 18,000 odd, I honestly dont believe it. At the moment their only income appears to be tribal fusion banner advertising, and they can’t even get this to work properly when I load the page (see below). eBay, here comes another one.
