Clapfeeder starts social VOD service*Pascale Paoli-Lebailly | 29-11-2012 * Founded and headed by Christophe Ebro, the newly-launched French VOD service Clapfeeder has built its model on social VOD, with user recommendations playing a key role.

Agreements have been signed with Samsung and LG. Movies can also be started on one device and finished on another. Movies are accessible in both French and original version and prices range from
