I was reading a cnn.com article that talked about how wikipedia was planning to move to an editor based system, which sounds similar to tv.com, but not really. I could see where the stakeholders in the Wikipedia group would be more concerned about controlling their content. At least on here, we could always point to the neutral source known as the actual broadcast episode or released boxset, and provide fairly reliable official guides and news articles. We editors usually aren't the actors or programming directors ourselves that we could pull rank on our information. I hope they do continue to credit our work on tv.com whenever they cover TV shows.

The Wiggles have moved from Disney to triple-digit cable-land on Sprout. It's cool that they get to do a few new segments, although their Wiggly Waffle show is broadcasting at 6-9am ET, which means 3-6am PT. Ack, I can't stay up late for that. But it's cool to see them do birthday announcements and pseudo-live things after being free from The Mouse.

Hopefully after I add this one the more recent stuff will be added too! (Or maybe not?) After plugging and unplugging cables and boxes for several days, we figured out that adapter cable box was defective at the input connector. Apparently quite a few folks were in the same boat with upgrading their cables to digital. They just take the box and give you another refurbished one.

I did get to see the Doctor Who special, though with tons of commercials since it's the premiere, and enough of Torchwood as to not get spoiled. It does makes me wonder what will be the next hot show coming from there. Will that Being Human vampire/werewolf thingy satisfy?

It's been a few weeks but I'm hooked onto Facebook; some of my comments may be obvious to those who regularly use it. A lot of those tools are typical for web 2.0 places, and I'm glad to see tv.com is making a concerted effort to keep up with the times. Most of my family and friends who have some sort of computer knowledge are active there. So that's what they've been doing all these years, well, besides dealing with the usual family stuff. It didn't seem like they were actively playing computer games anymore, well some are, as I soon learn. This site has pretty much corralled personal webpage services, leaving the old personal website for name branding and all of your professional e-business dreams.

Insta-blogging. This spins both ways. One thing I love about tv.com's blogging is that you get to write real columns, which I think is great for working on your writing, plus I just have a lot to say after thinking about stuff. Plus the forums are more structured. But with web 2.0 world comes the feed of "I fed my dog some chicken pieces." or "I'm bored." or "I watched Up today." Short but sweet and garners lots of responses.

Lots of ways to pass the time. Not only can you send "What X are you?" quizzes over and over, but you can join those infectious point allocation games where the more friends you have, the stronger you are or the more you visit, the more virtual points and virtual levels you get. Kind of like tv.com but at least here you actually contribute potentially useful content that stays around for a while.

Fan feeds - You like a TV show? Become a fan. You like a celebrity or music group? Become a fan. You like ice cream? Become a fan. You like popping bubble-wrap? Become a fan. Um, okay, great, more voluntary spam for your inbox. At least many of the feeds are from official sites.

Plus there's the Facebook button. Yeah, that one at the tail of this blog. Has anyone tried it yet? You can share this blog post or others right onto your Wall. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a decent selection of icons yet, preferring your banner picture and your friends' avatars or Search Forums.

Anyway, if you're into FB and want to social network with me there, let me know.
