Clicker opens to the public.

November 12th, 2009 by Ken

Digital distribution of media is a burgeoning, but fast moving, model for the delivery of multimedia. While the content includes music, the central focus of this streaming model is the videos, which include movies and television shows.

Clicker, a startup intent on being the most sought after search engine of television shows on the web, has opened its doors to the public. Limited to a private beta for little over two months, the site is now public, allowing users to sate their appetite for queries of that sort.

After its debut, the site has seen 33% more content added to its current index of nearly 400,000 full-length shows. The site’s content is culled from over 7,000 shows, spanning 1200 sources of content across the internet.

The site continues to improve upon its feature set, recently adding filters that enable users to pare down their search to episode descriptions of a specific show. They’ve also added a “related search” feature, which suggests shows that may be tailored to the tastes indicated by the content you’re presently viewing.

An important addition to the site is the inclusion of premium content, all of which is contingent upon the user’s subscription to that particular service  — Amazon Video on Demand and Netflix’ “Watch Instantly” content.

Instead of hosting the television shows, Clicker’s model is based upon it directing the user to reliable sources from which they’re able to view the specified content. While this is entirely free, there are plans to include premium features, the likes of which have yet to determined.
