In case you were wondering whether to watch the long-running documentary set in a unlikely swear-free inner city location about very old people, featuring young people who also look very old, yeah I'm talking about EastEnders, then here's a new service designed especially for you.
Shownar.com is a Web toy from the BBC that measures how much online buzz there is about its shows and orders them into a chart to help you decide what's worth watching.
Ignoring the obvious flaw that EastEnders is likely to always be top, it's a pretty useful of seeing at-a-glance the hidden gems you may otherwise miss before they're wiped from the iPlayer.
Eventually it will list shows from other channels, including hopefully the brilliant American online TV service Hulu, which is due to launch in the UK next year.
It's another step towards organising the mess that is the World Wide Web into something useful.
Definitely one to check out in your lunch break.
