Those are fab ideas. I will come back to you once I implement them. Thanks again.
I have created 3 top movie lists (IMDB 250, Palme d'Or winners, Time's ALLTIME 100) to help users get started. I will be adding more soon.
Also, I have lots of content that is not user generated ( around 50k movies). But I think, you are right in saying that user generated (even if fake) will be rather useful.
List of movies recommended by top leaders will be a good thing to add too. I do show top leaders on the home page of logged in users, but I guess it will be better if i can somehow show their movie lists easily too.
I will be glad if you try the app once. Here is a demo account cred: username: demouser@cineight.com password: demouser
The facebook app is just this site inside an iframe (I was too lazy to implement something specifically for FB. I too am not on it)
I will look into the sites you mentioned and try to learn what I can. Thanks.
The app is basically a stand alone web app. And Iframe seemed to be the most painless way of integrating it with facebook. It was laziness and not any strategy which led me to decide on Iframe.
I guess one way would be to show user say IMDB 250 list or any other such All Time list.
Plus the thing you said about getting viral. I will need to come up with a way to do that. Sharing list is definitely one of them. I also integrated FB Like for all movies which may help in spreading the word.
If you are a movie buff, would you come back to the app?
App is working fine. Need help in making it look good

Thanks a lot
Thanks for pointing that out.
One of the things that I realized was that I value recommendations of only a small group of people. Someone may have liked a movie that I also do, but that does not mean I can trust their recos. Hence, a model which lets me actively add people to my list of recommenders.
I would certainly keep improving the app and integrate it with other useful services.
Thanks a lot for the feedback. I appreciate it.
