eGuiders is a Hollywood-based website that aims to be the TV Guide[1] for online video.[2] Launched in February 2009, eGuiders features videos that are curated daily by Hollywood creators and executives such as Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof, comedian Jerry Stiller, and 24 executive producer Jon Cassar. The site's principal adviser is David Milch,[3] the creator of NYPD Blue and Deadwood.
Background
eGuiders sprung from a conversation between a new media producer, Marc Ostrick,[4] and a Columbia University professor, Evangeline Morophos in response to growing clutter of online video.[5] They had considered collaborating on a book on the evolution of online video, but opted to gather a group of friends and colleagues to directly help people cut through the clutter.

- Mark Tinker: Executive Producer of Private Practice
- Damon Lindelof: Co-creator of Lost
- Jerry Stiller: Comedian (Frank Costanza on Seinfeld)
- Shawn Ryan: Executive Producer of The Shield
- John Landis: Director of Animal House and The Blues Brothers
- David Milch: Creator of NYPD Blue and Deadwood
- Willie Garson: Actor (Standford on Sex and the City)
- Brady Brim-DeForest: Co-founder of Tubefilter
