Boxfish Launches An iPad App To Help You Find What’s Hot On TV | TechCrunch
There's no shortage of video discovery apps out there. There are some, like Showyou, which aim to usual social signals to tell you what videos are worth watching online; and there are others, like Fanhattan, which are designed to aggregate information across multiple video apps. But few apps are focused on highlighting what's actually happening right now, on TV. In part, that's because TV is a hard nut to crack, and few startups are equipped to capture and make sense of what's happening across hundreds of channels in real-time. That's where Boxfish comes in. Boxfish wants to be that information engine for TV, letting viewers find out instantly what's hot, and also alerting them when topics of interest come up.
