San Francisco, CA – May 17, 2013 – Dijit Media, Inc., makers of the popular NextGuide, Miso, and Dijit Remote social TV discovery and control applications, today introduced NextGuide Web. NextGuide Web is a new site that helps people find and explore TV shows and movies and see what their friends recommend and watch. The site lets users discover and watch shows on live TV and popular streaming services including Amazon Prime, Amazon Instant Video, iTunes, Hulu Plus, and Netflix.

Key features of NextGuide Web include:
Single Search - No more need to browse site after site to find your favorite show on a streaming service - search once on NextGuide for combined live and streaming results.

Universal Watchlist and Queue - No need to maintain unique queues on all your favorite sites, just create one list at NextGuide for anything you'd ever like to see.

Automatic Reminders - For any show or movie, set a reminder and NextGuide can email you whenever there's a new airing on live TV or any streaming service.

Miso, another "trailblazer" in the social TV space, was snapped up today by Dijit Media. This consolidation will result in Miso users coming over and joining the Dijit service, which will bring enhanced services to everyone. Dijit seeks to do this with minimal disruption to the existing Miso subscribers, although their nifty "Quips" app is being sunsetted.

Team Dijit had been working overtime getting the iPad optimized version of the Dijit app ready for prime time. It may have taken longer than expected, but as the old saying goes, good things come to those who wait. Dijit 3.0.0 is now available from the iTunes App Store, and it's pretty amazing.

According to the company, "The iPad is quickly becoming the ultimate living room "console" device, it's the perfect companion to watching TV, movies, and other entertainment in the home. It's a great tool for finding out what content is available, where you can get it, and learning more about it. The new Dijit for iPad app aims to be the keystone app for turning iPads into living room entertainment control consoles."

Anyone who checked out our Dijit for iPad preview

Jeremy Toeman, Dijit's Chief Product Officer, has helped several companies win "best of CES" throughout his career, due in part to his relentless focus on the user experience. With so many CES wins under his belt, guys like Robert, the Scobleizer, Scoble fondly refer to Jeremy as "Mr. CES."

In this interview, Scoble and Mr. CES discuss CES 2012, Dijit, and the future of television.

I can't honestly say any preview with over twenty different high-res screenshots to salivate over should be in the "sneak" variety. Nonetheless, Dijit has finally offerred up a good look at the upcoming iOS release that brings iPad optimization and other enhancements to the Dijit for iOS app.

In a blog posting in their official blog, team Dijit gives insight into their reimagining process by sharing the guidelines they followed as they worked on what should turn out to be "the ultimate console for the coffee table."

From the post:

1. The user shouldn’t have to try to “find” stuff in the app – ultimately if you are watching TV, we can’t predict that you’re about to want to push pause on the remote, change the channel, or read more on Wikipedia about that one actor in that one show.
