Today, we’re making it even easier for you to find exactly what you want to watch online with a new discovery feature that gives each person listed in our database their own page on Clicker.  ”People Pages”, as we call them, feature over 75,000 people and counting, including actors, writers, producers and directors.  Each page lists every program a given person has been in (that’s available to watch online, at least), from starring roles to cameos.  We even include videos that simply discuss that person, for example if they are the subject of a biography or archived news story.

Great examples of Clicker People Pages at work:

• Denis Leary: http://www.clicker.com/person/denis-leary/
• Mindy Kaling: http://www.clicker.com/person/mindy-kaling/
• Zach Galifianakis: http://www.clicker.com/person/zach-galifianakis/
• Tina Fey: http://www.clicker.com/person/tina-fey/
• Nathan Fillion: http://www.clicker.com/person/nathan-fillion/
• Felicia Day: http://www.clicker.com/person/felicia-day/
  and of course…
• Kevin Bacon: http://www.clicker.com/person/kevin-bacon/

We’re especially excited about the opportunity Clicker People Pages bring for Web Originals and those that create and star in them.  For example: Craig Frank, one of the Web’s most prolific actors, has appeared in almost every genre of Web series including sci-fi, horror, and this year’s video game fantasy, A Good Knight’s Quest.  With Clicker People Pages, you can easily find everything that he has contributed to online: http://www.clicker.com/person/craig-frank/

Additional features of People Pages:

• Full Search Integration: Clicker search results will now return results for all relevant People Pages, in addition to the standard show, episode, and category results.

• Search Within: Let’s say you’re a huge Will Ferrell fan, but you’re particularly interested in what he’s done with John C. Reilly. Simply search within the page for “Reilly” and you’ll find all the work they’ve done together.

• Related People Algorithm: We’ve also added Related People lists, which you’ll find on the right hand side of any Show, Episode or People page.  Our algorithm connects individuals who have worked together frequently, or have intangible similarities, enabling you to discover six degrees of just about anyone you’d like.

• Wiki: Even better, just as we allow users to submit edits to Show and Episode pages, we welcome your help to add to People Pages. For content creators who would like their credits indexed on Clicker, or if you notice we’re missing people from your show, simply email us at credits@clicker.com or upload a file with your credits: http://www.clicker.com/about/credits_submit.html
