What is TIOTI?

It’s a revolutionary approach to socialize and optimize your TV-torrent experience. TIOTI combines great design, tv-torrent tracking, favorites, recommendations, RSS feeds, tagging, groups, a little AJAX, and a lot more web 2.0-ish stuff.

Do you want to know what TIOTI is all about? Just read the TIOTI interview we did a while ago.

TIOTI will start sending out invites May 25, you can sign up at tioti.com

Let’s take a look at some of the features

Home

Once you’re logged in the frontpage shows your favorites, recommendations, Top 10’s, your friend’s favorites etcetera. At the top of the page you will see a search box. The site’s navigation is pretty intuitive and easy to use.

Search

A quick search for “Lost” returns a list of shows ordered by relevance. You can also search for tags, groups or users.

Show List

In the Show list you can browse through the seasons, check topics or comment or subscribe to several RSS feeds.

Edit Info

Another great option is that you can add and edit the show and episode info. Upload a new image, correct errors, add tags, write a summary etc.


Torrents

If you browse a season you will see links to the available TV-torrents. You can check or write comments, recommend the show or episode to a friend, grab the RSS feed, check whether you’ve seen the episodes, browse through a list of show fans, etcetera.

Episode View

This is where the torrents are. You can edit, tag and rate the episodes, and get lots of info on the available torrents

Groups & Friends

What would a site like this be without groups and friends? Socialize, share and discover.

Profile

Last but not least, your profile. Manage your friends, groups, favorites, messages, and choose a badge.


To conclude

I’ve listed a few of the great features of what could be the next generation BitTorrent experience. TIOTI will start sending out invites soon, get over there if you want the whole package.

Remember, TIOTI is still BETA, things can get even better!

If you don't like torrents try MP3 Fiesta. They hold nearly 67,000 albums from nearly 17,000 artists. Prices are around the $0.10 mark for single tracks with full albums coming in at roughly $1.00. Tracks are available from 192kbps and they take major credit cards and PayPal

Previously: Burger King & Myspace to Sell “24″ downloads

I’ve been waiting for my invite code since the beta first went up. Put in my email one of the first days.
On a side note, people interested in this should check out http://www.lifehacker.com/software/tv/download-of-the-day-tvuplayer-windows-208753.php.
It offers a somewhat similar functionality, but organized differently. Unfortunately, it seems to be on the decline, as in won’t be free in the future. Pity…
