The WB Rises From The Ashes As A Competitor To Hulu (30)

The most impressive feature found on TheWB is its video search, which allows users to search across many shows on the site for mention of any word or phrase. Digitalsmiths powers the search, automatically transcribing and indexing dialog in each episode. In practice the search seems to work only decently (perhaps around 50% of the time), but when it does work, it’s pretty impressive.Shared by abacab (10) Alex (3) billrod (1) Cavorter (25) Cosmin (9) Dave C.
