TVGuide Launches Discovery Widget
TV Guide Online has launched an online video widget allowing any site to piggyback on TV Guide’s existing online video guide and search function.
I’m far from sold on the utility of another video search tool for well-known content, that Google pane in my Firefox browser should do the same job, but I guess better to build a branded widget that a few people might use than not build a widget at all?
Users can customize the widget to show top picks by free or paid content, clips or full length shows as well as search TV Guide’s listings. Annoyingly, when a show or video clip is clicked on it opens two windows, one to TVGuide.com and the other to the appropriate video site.
