TumTiki will be working to help users in the USA to watch almost anything they want on one website, including an option to watch localised programming (which can be viewed by using their ‘map’ of the country).

Online-only ’web shows’ will also be featured, as TumTiki plan to become a hub on which users can view anything they want, mostly while staying on TumTiki’s web pages (with the videos provided by the source’s respective video ‘player’).

While the only income received for viewing comes via Amazon’s collection of premium movie streams, it is thought that such a large and content-filled service will be a brilliant opportunity for advertisers.

Additional ventures planned for TumTiki include social networking integration, and own-brand show production, such as for online gameshows and sporting events.

Fronteir representative Melinda White said of the TumTiki service: “It’s an exciting launch for us. It’s the largest video library of any single destination site. This is a value to our customers, it’s designed to bring attention to our site. When you click on a title on Hulu, for example, you stay on our site. That’s a value to our advertisers, but it’s also a value to partners like Hulu, because we still bring them more eyeballs.”

With a large majority of shows in the USA now available to watch online with even less mouse clicks than before, how far will the ‘ease of use’ video services manage to go in the search of a perfect hub for the Internet’s video content? TumTiki seems to be the closest so far…
