One Aggregated TV Site To Rule Them All
November 13, 2009 6:07 AM Subscribe
Clicker is a site that collects all available streaming videos, movies and television shows and gathers them all up in one nice neat little bundle for your searching and viewing pleasure.
Discovered via this post on Lifehacker.
Instead of going to each individual site, Clicker brings them all to you. Once inside Clicker you can search, add to your playlist, etc.
Comments in the post reveal that it's not Outside The US Friendly, which sucks.
Enjoy!

The reason Project Free TV has more shows is that it links to pirate sites that don't reimburse the creators/ writers/ actors/ crew for their hard work.

Do those people even get reimbursed for online broadcasts anyway? Did the writers get that with their strike? I certainly doubt the crew gets anything from online viewing.

I use it for these features:
* discover where content is available
* subscribe to shows' new content
* remember what I've watched
I think it could be called "TiVo for web video" if it weren't for trademark issues.

Yes, that's mostly why the strike happened. The contract for DVD compensation was developed during the VHS days when no one thought home video would make money. The fight was over getting compensated for digital distribution.

I would love this so hard if it filtered for closed captioning, like Hulu does.

From US sources only, and it fails to filter based on what I can see in my country (which is probably nothing.) Boo!
