Find more of the TV you love

It's rare that some kind of an experimental project gets turned into a site. But sometimes we get the bug to try something and it ends up actually working (we often get the bug to do something but it actually working - now that is a rare treat).

Such as our latest launch, a little something called TV Grapevine which presents a graphical map of a show and the related shows. So for instance you may start off with Dawson's Creek and you would see a map linking it to The O.C., One Tree Hill and other such shows.

The idea is you can start with your favourite show and find other shows which you may not be aware of or may not have looked into that you would actually really like. And therefore discover more shows which you'll love.

Some would say a day too late but still

It seems a little ironic that we should launch a horror website the day after Halloween. I also think it's important to point out that this was not a failure on our part - we had no plans to launch it yesterday and just failed to do so.

Indeed we didn't actually plan to launch it today. We were planning a later launch date but decided to move it up due to it basically being ready - there are still things to develop but content is the most important part of any site and that is online, everything else can wait, it's just extra clutter after all.

The site itself is called All Very Scary. I thought the name up a few weeks ago and thought it would be great for a horror site. Given I already wanted to do a horror site plans were soon in place to launch said site. Here is our first attempt at a result.

It's perhaps not as fantastic as it could have been but if it was we would probably spend forever developing it with these amazing features and never get round to putting content on there which would be somewhat of a bad move so we're focusing on the content for now.
