Welcome to collections
We’re excited to announce the biggest addition to Chill yet: collections.
Collections are the best way to express your style, interests and obsessions through video.
Maybe you love postmodern architecture, or live indie music performances, or Lana Del Rey. Whatever you’re into, that’s what collections are about: beautiful video defined by your taste. And, we’ve made it easy for you to get your taste recognized by others. Your collections can be followed by anyone on Chill.
Along with collections, we’ve also created a bookmarklet that allows you to post videos you discover while surfing the Web. Go grab the bookmarklet now and start your first collection now.

The Definitive Collection of “Shit People Say”

Welcome to the new Chill
Today, we’re taking a giant step forward with the new Chill.
Over the past few months, we’ve had tremendous success building a new kind of experience around video. Our previous efforts allowed you and your friends to watch video together, synchronizing the video for everyone in a video room. But after talking with our most passionate customers, we knew there was something more important to tackle. Through these discussions emerged a concept that could make video fully social in a simpler, less-taxing way.
Millions of videos are shared every day, but the actual act of finding, watching and categorizing video is surprisingly difficult and fragmented.
There’s a better way. And we believe that the answer lies in making video truly social.
Enter today’s product: with this release, we’ve created an entirely new way for people to watch movies, TV shows and Web video. At the core, watching video on the Internet is a social activity; if you laugh, smile or love something you see, you inherently want to share it with someone.
The new Chill makes it dead simple to watch and share video. We’ve built a fully-integrated way for you to consume entertaining, interesting and thoughtful content on your terms.
Everything has been re-imagined in the new Chill. Your home is now a grid of videos shared by the people you care about. And the most important activity — watching video — is built to be a fully-integrated and immersive viewing experience that doesn’t force you to leave the page.
But what about sharing? We’ve made it easy to repost videos you love to your followers and share them seamlessly with your Facebook and Twitter networks.
Lastly, we’ve created a popular section that allows you to easily discover what’s cool at that moment in time in the community.
Already on Chill are professional athletes, musicians, filmmakers, YouTube professionals and more of the personalities whose taste you care about. Better yet, we’ve brought all of your favorite video sharing sites together — like YouTube, Vimeo and more — into a rich community of people bound by friendship and interests.
Welcome to the new Chill.
