Jeff Pulver's TV Cube

PrimeTimeRewind is one of those sites that excites you immediately. The 3D cube in the middle with all these great TV shows on it from Fox, USA, CBS, NBC and more, gives a different experience from the one we all familiar with today.

You can play and rotate the Cube (which is a much better name for the service if you ask me), in order to find the best show for you to watch right now. The navigation is easy and pretty smooth, you spin and control the cube by using the mouse or arrows on your keyboard - When you find something you like, you simply click on it.

So basically the service aggregates all the good TV show out there, and presenting them in what may be an easier way for the users to search, find, and watch.

Usability problems:

• Search becoming a problem when a user need to go back to the front page and wait for the cube to load again. I suggest to place a search box on top of left sidebar as well.
  
• Comment area should stay static - Can be really annoying when you watch a video
• Problem with the design when the left sidebar is closed - Maybe showing the arrow is enough.
  

Overall the site is fun and useful, but something is definitely missing. I'd like to see some connections between the users themselves (surly I didn't signed-up just to save the page as favorite). I'd like PrimeTimeRewind to suggest me a list of relevant videos, maybe show favorite picks from other people who watched the same video as I did.

I liked the service but after the first click, it's getting too plain and I have to admit, I expected more. In my opinion PTR should posh it few steps forward (and I know they can).
