Boxfish Hatches a Hot Idea for Searchable TV

Here’s an app that re-invents the TV guide — and yet is about as far from the newspaper TV listings of old as you can get. Boxfish, available at no charge in the Google Play store, shows what’s trending on TV by indexing every spoken word on TV — live. In theory, this lets you see trends in events, news and sports. The idea behind the app is that you should be able to find out what’s happening on television live and then choose what to watch rather than guessing or working off a classic TV guide grid.
