Innovative Website Launches Easy-to-Use Guide and Reviews of Original WEBISODE Video Series on the Internet

NEW YORK, Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- TheWebisodes.com (http://www.thewebisodes.com/) today announced its launch of the first, continually updated, online guide to the best web series, 'webisodes', available on the Internet. The Webisodes.com features a familiar television listings format with reviews, descriptions and links to specific Webisodes Worth Watching(TM) and hosts Weekly Webisode Watch(TM), a weekly show starring The Brothers, co-founders Gil and Oran Margulis.

"Today's online audiences expect a wider choice of entertainment programming on demand than ever before," commented Elizabeth Thrasher, a co-founder of TheWebisodes.com. "We created TheWebisodes.com to serve as a one stop resource for people to find and link to their favorite web video shows, discover new shows, post their own reviews and send webisodes to cell phones and other mobile devices."

Visitors to TheWebisodes.com can also see timely reviews of new and popular web shows on Weekly Webisode Watch(TM), hosted by co-founders, Gil and Oran Margulis, known as "The Brothers". Reminiscent of the television movie review format pioneered by Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel, the show offers humorous personal recommendations in an entertaining format. The Brothers also plan to offer a "Pick of the Day" review and feature guest interviews with creators and stars of popular web series.

"New video series premiere much more quickly on the internet than in traditional media," said co-founder, Gil Margulis. "A webisode can come out of nowhere to be viewed by millions and become a cultural phenomenon practically overnight."

"Our mission is to showcase only the best webisodes on Weekly Webisode Watch(TM), along with our reviews and our viewers' recommendations," added Oran Margulis. "We are excited to offer a truly interactive experience that provides our community with a platform to express their opinions as well."

Although video programming on the Internet has increased significantly over the past few years, entertainment industry analysts have complained that the lack of a central directory has made it difficult for viewers to find content. In response, The Webisodes.com offers a free, easy-to-use guide that is helpful to a wide demographic of online audiences, from teens to Baby Boomers, simplifying the process of locating favorite webisodes, while also introducing them to new webisodes.

"Consumer surveys published by audience tracking organizations such as Nielsen/Net Ratings clearly demonstrate a massive migration of video viewers to the Internet," noted Marc D. Broidy, a co-founder of The Webisodes.com. "Web series have become a cottage industry within the entertainment business in the race to compete for audience-hungry online advertisers. This is the perfect time to provide a website that aggregates the best webisodes that the Internet has to offer."

TheWebisodes.com plans to expand internationally in 2009 to reach online audiences worldwide.

TheWebisodes.com is powered by Dragonfly.com, with its 'best-of-class video technology. Dragonfly.com is one of the leading video technology providers and empowers it's customers to 'own' their networks and monetize their video assets.
