Many big TV stations and studios have put their shows on the internet. For viewers like us, we probably don’t know whether a specific show is on CBS, ABC or FOX.

Just click it to watch. It contains content from major networks to small video sites.

It will also provide additional information if you want to know more. If you are interested, you may also help to create new quiz.

You can always use Hunch to decide whether you should buy iPhone or Palm Pre, choose a laptop or even decide where you should go for vacation. It’s better than entering search keys in Bing. Hunch really helps users to decide what they should do in daily life. It seems Hunch knows how to be a real decision engine rather than copying or criticizing Google.
