Baseline To Power Spideo Movie Discovery App



LOS ANGELES, June 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Baseline, the leader in entertainment metadata and discovery platforms, will provide data and images to Spideo's popular movie recommendation engine and iPad app. Spideos's app provides a personalized, movie discovery experience to give entertainment enthusiasts a wish-based, film and television search and recommendation engine. This solves the number one problem among movie and TV enthusiasts: What am I going to watch tonight?

Spideo is using Baseline's Film and TV content API for sourcing poster images, credits, synopses and related data. Culled from its industry leading entertainment archive, Baseline tailored their API allowing Spideo to integrate Baseline's content into the app within weeks - virtually half of the time it would have taken with generic solutions available elsewhere in the content marketplace. This in turn gives Spideo the ability to customize their content precisely to a client's requirements. Spideo's algorithm will then analyze each user's personal tastes, recommending thousands of movies and TV shows.

"This groundbreaking application offers consumers an innovative platform to experience their favorite programming," said Amer Saleem, Baseline's EVP. "Users are able to intuitively connect with and discover new titles based on Spideo's comprehensive algorithms. "

"By partnering with Baseline, Spideo's application is able to rely on the industry's highest quality and most comprehensive data platform to connect our users with the content they want to watch," said Gabriel Mandelbaum, Spideo co-founder and head of sales.
