Pricing and registration dates

I thought I'd share something.

A while back, a friend of mine created a website where one can:

• Keep track of the TV shows he/she's following;
• Be notified when new episodes air;
• "Etc."

There are a lot of functionalities that are awesome.

For instance, I now know that I've spent "2 Weeks, 5 Days, 15 Minutes" watching all the episodes I submitted to the website.
