Dijit's been relatively quiet since the beginning of the year when it launched its iPad app. Now, the social TV startup led by Jeremy Toeman has launched NextGuide, a new iPad app that "brings personalization into the core of the TV discovery process, and connects people with shows they want to watch contextually based on interests, geography and personalities rather than times and channels," according to the company. We spoke with Toeman who demo'd the app for us in New York.
The long anticipated TVnext event took place yesterday at Boston's beautiful Institute of Contemporary Arts. As promised, the structure of the event, the length of the panels and the case-study focused content created a general consensus both at the event and on Twitter, that Mike Proulx and his agency did well. The Social TV book that recently went on sale officially launched at the conclusion of TVnext. Lost Remote is acknowledged and featured throughout the book on several occasions.
We previewed the new Dijit iPad app last month, and it's now live in iTunes. It combines a customizable universal remote (via the Griffin Beacon, and it also controls Roku boxes) along with a localized TV guide, Facebook recommendations from your friends, Twitter and Facebook integration, and the ability to control your Netflix queue, to boot.
In September, Dijit, an app that can act as a universal remote for your entertainment system, launched a slew of social features including Facebook recommendations, YouTube search integrations and their own check-in. Today, the San Francisco based startup has announced their first iPad app.
