Modern Feed, a free guide to full-length, professionally produced Web video, debuted on Wednesday with a database of 25,000 programs encompassing 2,700 shows and more than 500 networks.

Modern Feed's goal is to make viewing online video pain-free, whatever a consumer's level of tech-savvy. Visitors can find the programming they want by browsing by network, category, or show title. In addition, "Modern Feed Picks," "Features & Previews," "New & Noteworthy," and "Community Trends" sections aim to help viewers discover something new to watch.

By setting up a free Modern Feed account, visitors can create and edit playlists, rate shows and episodes, set up season passes for their favorite series, and receive support for iPhone playlists.
