TIOTI ready to launch new social site

We've mentioned Tape It Off The Internet before - including this story on web TV by my colleague Katie Allen - a site that indexes TV shows online and tells users where they can find their favourite episodes.

The site's been in beta for a while, but it's about to relaunch itself as a full-on social aggregator of (think something like Last.fm for telly: find episodes, actors, and see what your friends are watching).

Founder Paul Cleghorn recently joined the discussions at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh TV Festival fringe (Kevin caught him on video) and describes TIOTI as such:



"TIOTI.com acts as an aggregator of online TV content and a social network for user generated content about TV shows, so we are very excited at being able to open up www.tioti.com for general consumption at a time when major TV players are starting to make their content widely available on the Web."



Right now the relaunched site isn't live. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

A lot of people are working in this sort of area at the moment - social aspects of TV and radio consumption - and it's really intriguing. Let's see what happens with TIOTI and the other sites gambling on this area.
