It's cool and all but what is the difference from <a href="http://www.mytvshows.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.mytvshows.org</a> or even <a href="http://www.boxee.tv/" rel="nofollow">http://www.boxee.tv/</a> ?<p>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.<p>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.

You know what last.fm is for me (and the majority of last.fm traffic)? Free internet radio.<p>Your site, as far as I can tell, is _not_ free internet TV. So to most people I wouldn't call it last.fm for TV shows.

I use <a href="http://trakt.tv" rel="nofollow">http://trakt.tv</a> mostly because it scrobbles automatically (from XBMC and a bunch of other media centers) what i have seen instead of marking everything by hand.

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 <i>instantly</i>: eg <a href="http://followmy.tv/shows/18318/The_Big_Bang_Theory" rel="nofollow">http://followmy.tv/shows/18318/The_Big_Bang_Theory</a>

Hi everyone, so i'm the founder of followmy.tv<p>Very cool to see followmy.tv suddenly appear on hackernews.<p>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.<p>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.<p>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

<a href="http://www.sidereel.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.sidereel.com</a> offers the same features too, i've been using it for quite a while.

Been using myepisodes.com for some years now, works great. Simple and not too much stuff that gets in the way.
