The central concept is a "Fan Hub". Each Hub is associated with a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ ID and provides a tailored browser for shows (coming soon: artists) and related resources like series and episodes. In addition to the data directly provided by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ, uses a set of semantic bots to monitor Twitter. These bots will find, analyse, aggregate, and interlink tweets with Hubs. The result is a blend of static and dynamic information which lets you track buzz around your favourite shows and artists and simplifies getting in touch with other Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ followers.

For now, you can join and leave a Hub through a Twitter interface, and rate Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ shows. FanHubz also provides a rich API for accessing the collected tweet and fan data. We are currently working on a signup mechanism so that you can add ratings and reviews directly via the fanhu.bz site.
