Today’s Clicker

Most of us know what someone means when they’re looking for the clicker. That right it’s the TV remote. The contemporary terminology for the remote control became popular because the first remotes from the 1960’s actually clicked when pressed. With the clicker came the popular sport of channel surfing. For all you channel surfers out there, hang onto your hats, because Clicker.com has just taken surfing to a whole new level!

Clicker.com has just gone live after two months of invitation only beta testing. I just finished watching one of my favorite shows online. It was fantastic! No remembering to set the VCR or DVR, not programming conflict, plus the shows have a limited amount of commercial interruptions letting you enjoy more of the programs you love.

Your favorite TV shows aren’t the only thing you can find easily on Clicker.com. The website catalogs broadcast programming online along with TV shows, web originals, movies, and music. You can search for content or keep up with trends.

Clicker.com is definitely the ultimate programming guide. You can browse over a 1,000 categories. Clicker is part directory, search engine, wiki, and entertainment guide. If you can’t find something on Clicker, you can suggest it. You may also want to register at the site as some content requires unique identification. What these days doesn’t?  A good portion of the content is free, however Netflix requires a subscription and Amazon.com sells or rents video downloads.

If watching your favorite content or listening to selections of music isn’t enough, then visit their blog or keep up with them on Facebook and Twitter. Want to know more about an episode or show? That’s what the Wiki is for. It includes pictures, descriptions, cast members; you name it. So why am I still writing? I’ve got some stuff to watch. Check it out for yourself. If you’ve got a husband like mine from whom you can’t pry the remote, the answer to your viewing troubles is only a click away.
