Amazon’s going Hollywood,
and we’re glad they are taking us with them.
The latest tool that they have introduced didn’t even rate one of their thrill-a-minute press releases. Here’s what the company tweeted Sunday with a link to the new Video Finder.
There are more categories and subcategories than any 10 ovie buffs could possible dream up, all very well organized, and wherever your browsing takes you, it’s a snap to drill down so that you only see titles in one of these four categories:
- Prime Instant Videos (Yes, those are the ones that are free for Amazon Prime members)
- Rated G or PG
- TV Shows
- Movies
We’re having so much fun checking out the search infrastructure and finding videos that we may never get around to watching. Although we do like to watch.
But just to give you an idea — sure, the darker souls in their midst will enjoy the fact that the Video Finder allows us to browse “Dystopian” titles. But this tool then allows you to select from a dozen different Dystopian subcategories! Because even those dark souls occasionally enjoy a dystopian comedy, right?
It’s still in Beta — no puns, we’re not going there — but check it out and let us know what you think!
