Live Matrix Launches a TV Guide for the Scheduled Web

The problem, though, is that there is no single place to find out about these upcoming events. Live Matrix, which just launched, wants to change this. The service aims to be a TV Guide for all scheduled events on the Internet and currently indexes about 100,000 events per week.
