If you happen to have friends who can be big blabbermouths, then you need Spoiler Shield. It’s a social media browser app that also functions as a shield of sorts.
The app works easily with Facebook and Twitter. In order to start using it, you’ll have to log in and allow access to both social media accounts. Once you’re connected, you can then choose from a list of sports teams or TV programs, and the app will automatically look for relevant keywords and filter out any potential spoiler posts from your feed.
Nothing will be spoiled for you the next time someone posts a status update about your favorite TV show or NFL or MLB team. Spoiler Shield will block that status and keep you ignorant about whatever has happened until you get a chance to see it for yourself.
Spoiler Shield is available for free on the iOS. An Android app is currently in the works.

Gravity looks pretty damn terrifying.

TV on Twitter gets a boost: CBS offers in-tweet highlight videos, Netflix keeps spoilers out
Posted in: Today's Chili
TV-loving Twitter users just got two big upgrades to their experience. To start, CBS has reached a deal with Twitter to offer ad-supported, in-tweet highlight videos through the Amplify program. The partnership will include content from 42 shows spread across 20 of CBS’ web and TV brands. Meanwhile, Netflix has launched a new Spoiler Foiler website that prevents Twitter friends in other regions from ruining Breaking Bad. Sign in, and the page will automatically censor tweets with likely spoiler material; you can click the blacked-out text to see what you’re missing. While it’s not clear when CBS’ highlight videos will be available, Spoiler Foiler is available today.

Why the Hell Does Hulu Show Spoiler Commercials for the TV Show You’re Watching?
Posted in: Today's Chili
Hulu, for all its good intentions and fairly solid stream quality, kind of sucks. It doesn’t have enough TV shows, it doesn’t have enough episodes, you still have to watch commercials even when you pay for Hulu Plus but worst of all, sometimes those commercials you’re forced to sit through are about future episodes of the freaking TV show you’re watching. Basically, if you watch Hulu, it’s like being chained down to a chair for Spoiler Russian Roulette. More »

In the previous century, when everyone watched TV shows at the exact same time, we didn’t have to worry about ruining suspenseful plots. You either saw it or didn’t. But thanks to technology, we live in a dangerous time. Equally devoted fans of a show might be live-watchers—always up to the latest episode—or they might be time-shifters, perpetually a few days behind the broadcasts. More »

Along with propagating inane hashtags like #NameYourDickAfterAMovie*, Twitter is also horribly ruthless when it comes to spoiling movies and TV shows. To prevent an unwelcome spoiler, you have to basically abstain from Twitter when a show like Breaking Bad comes on or when a big movie like The Dark Knight Rises comes out. But that’s not the only way! Here’s how to make your Twitter spoiler-free. More »
