Couchville

Saturday, March 10, 2007 by Dave Winer.

A new TV listing service came online this week called Couchville; it's a pretty Ajaxy app, easy to set up, I'd use it if it were as functional as Titan TV or the old Yahoo TV, but they play the same game that Yahoo does, fetching stuff as you scroll so it isn't fast enough for your eye to pan over the listings, and in Couchville (unlike the new Yahoo TV) you don't even get a vertical scrollbar. 

Net result, it's not as fast as Titan, and speed wins over pretty in this app. It's not about esthetics if that gets in the way of utility, as it does in Couchville.
