EGuiders
eGuiders is a Hollywood-based website that aims to be the TV Guide for online video. Launched in February 2009, eGuiders features videos that are curated daily by Hollywood creators and executives such as Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof, comedian Jerry Stiller, and 24 executive producer Jon Cassar. The site's principal adviser is David Milch, the creator of NYPD Blue and Deadwood.
Background
eGuiders sprung from a conversation between a new media producer, Marc Ostrick, and a Columbia University professor, Evangeline Morophos in response to growing clutter of online video. They had considered collaborating on a book on the evolution of online video, but opted to gather a group of friends and colleagues to directly help people cut through the clutter.
