Shufflr adds new video discovery and curation features

Sept. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- Bangalore, September 24, 2010: Althea Systems, the makers of Shufflr – the social video browser – today announced the launch of a Shufflr bookmarklet which will allow users to queue and watch videos at their convenience from YouTube, MetaCafe, Vimeo, Daily Motion, on social networking sites and blogs. This feature can also be used by video curators to collect and share videos of interest on both popular and niche topics. The launch of the bookmarklet comes with the addition of new social video discovery features through Twitter and Facebook integration. The Twitter integration will enable users to see videos tweeted by people they follow on Twitter while the Facebook integration will allow users to watch videos shared by their friends on Facebook. Shufflr can be downloaded at http://shufflr.tv while more details on bookmarklet can be found at http://www.shufflr.tv/bookmarklet.html .    

“There are times when we stumble upon an interesting video but just don’t have the time to watch it.  With the Shufflr bookmarklet, a video you stumbled upon at work can be queued and watched later when it is convenient” said Vinod Gopinath, CEO and Founder, Althea Systems. He added “With the launch of our Twitter and Facebook features, we make sure that you don’t miss out on the fun videos your friends share by aggregating them all in one place - your Shufflr friend feed”.

Users can simply click on the Shufflr bookmarklet to queue a video they stumble upon in a blog or website. The next time the user logs on to Shufflr, a click on the queue button on the home screen lists all the videos collected and queued from the web.

With the new Twitter feature users can also see videos shared on lists they follow including their own. Similarly users can also see videos shared from fan pages they ‘like’ on Facebook.
