Squrl Brings Definitive Video Discovery to Mobile Users for Boundless Entertainment
New Personalized Recommendation and Search Capabilities Enable Unmatched Access to YouTube, Netflix, Hulu and More
(firmenpresse) - SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/18/12 -- Squrl (), the one place to discover and watch videos from the most popular content sources available on mobile, today announced the launch of powerful new discovery tools, including personalized recommendations and search capability. Alongside a redesigned user interface, these new features are available for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users through the latest version of Squrl's top rated mobile application.
Mobile video consumption continues to rise as tablet and smartphone adoption grows dramatically. One recent from Cisco(i) projects that by 2016, over 70 percent of total mobile data traffic will result from video.
"Nowhere is mobile disruption of incumbent media more evident than in the way people consume video," said Paul Vidich, Squrl advisor and former EVP of Warner Music Group responsible for completing the first major record company agreement with Apple iTunes. "Today's launch truly delivers on the mobile promise of TV anywhere -- the convenience of discovering and watching video wherever you are."
Beginning today, Squrl users will be able to update their iOS applications for an enhanced mobile video experience.
: Users can now search for specific movies, TV shows, or videos using the industry's only mobile video search to integrate both free and premium video providers including YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Ted, Vimeo, AOL, and Blip.tv. Results also include curated video links from social channels including Twitter and Facebook.
Users will now receive tailored recommendations based on their specific interests and viewing behaviors through the most comprehensive video recommendation system available on mobile today. The "Recommended" section is modeled after Squrl's "What's Hot" algorithm that monitors hundreds of video sources and curators from across the Web to find trending videos.
Squrl is now faster and simpler with a redesigned user interface displaying video thumbnails and titles that are larger and easier to read. A streamlined side navigation menu makes it easy for users to access their favorite or recommended videos in a single tap, while the updated "Activity" tab feeds a video timeline to see what others are watching including those they follow.
"Bringing users fresh and exciting video content on their mobile devices has always been our mission, but the end goal was to make the experience as simple and intuitive as possible," said Mark Gray, co-founder and CEO of Squrl. "Personalizing the video watching experience on mobile is something that hasn't existed until now, so we're thrilled to be able to bring it to market."
