from Scripting news:
In a rational world, we’d be building apps off this site as we’re building on Twitter. It’s really rich, but we’re too scared of Hollywood to work together on this. Or at least I’m too scared. But I admire what they’re doing, esp since they just added excellent RSS support. I may go ahead and design some software that automates BitTorrent for a friend (who will remain nameless) who is a Gilmore Girls fan who thinks its silly that she has to remember to download the program every week. I know Azureus has RSS support, but as it’s implemented it’s way too technical for even me to configure properly, and it’s hopeless to try to explain to a person who knows how to use a TiVO, which is all the technical expertise that should be required. The UI should allow a user to express their desire the way my friend expressed it — every time there’s a new episode of the Gilmore Girls, get it for me. Not 204 copies of last week’s show produced by different people. Just the one I always get. With EZTV doing quality control, the problem is close to solved for TV shows. And for movies there’s Axxo. Don’t know who he is? It’s worth learning. “
