What is Shufflr.tv ? Well… you have to use Shufflr to experience it yourself. Like Matrix it can’t be explained so easily. Or you must have the privilege to directly hear it from Rajnish (Like I had) . Very simply put Shufflr is a social video browser where videos find you. A slick way to discover, watch and share online videos. And here are the reasons why I love it.
Shufflr is build on Adobe Air and has a very sleek user interface. That’s what make the UI really shuffle, quick, fast, easy and advance in many ways compared to a total web based experience.
One can find numerous top video provider here at one place and save a lots of time visiting each one separately. E.g. Youtube, BlipTV, Dailmotion, YahooVideo and many more.
The benefit of the above is that you get the buzz not just from one single source, but what’s actually is really popular all over the web in true sense.
You can’t just discover videos but also discover people with similar interests watching similar videos. You can browse through their profiles, tags, bookmarks and watch the videos that they have watched.

Just recently they also experimented by having a Fooball channel for Fifa. And the beauty of that is, that you won’t miss a single action of it as it aggregates videos across the sites.
The most important and great thing about shufflr is that they are still evolving and adding features on a continuous basis.
