Netflix Connection with Facebook Connect
Leading online movie rental service Netflix has announced its integration with
Facebook Connect, which seamlessly links a Netflix member's account with
their Facebook account. Facebook Connect will extend members' movie
ratings from the Netflix community to Facebook.
Netflix
members decide if they want to use Facebook Connect and can turn it on
or off at any time. Each time a Netflix member rates a movie, that one-
to five-star rating will be posted on their Facebook profile and shared
with the member's friends if the Netflix member has enabled Facebook
Connect.
Facebook
social network invites any Website to
implement recently introduced
Facebook Connect, a service designed to
make it easy for its users to combine their Facebook experience with
participating Website, desktop application, or mobile device.
As
businesses are using new ways to increase their sales.
Pizza Hut is using Facebook Platform
for selling food and others like Best Buy and Wal-Mart have started
Facebook pages. A Rosetta social media study says 59% of 100 leading
retailers have a fan page on Facebook.
To make
its service more useful, Facebook has now released
The Facebook Principles,
which will guide the development of the service, and Statement of Rights
and Responsibilities that make clear Facebook's and users' commitments
related to the service.
As
friends can make comments in response to ratings posts, this new feature
aims to encourage an enriched movie-watching experience, enhanced by
interaction and conversation among friends.
Movie
rating posts on Facebook will also link back to the correlating movie
page at Netflix, enabling Facebook users to learn more about a specific
movie and allowing Netflix members to easily add the movie to their own
Queues.
To link
their Netflix and Facebook accounts, Netflix members will use the
"Connect" button on the Netflix member site. Upon first connecting, each
member will have the option of pushing all future movie ratings to their
Facebook profile or to be presented with the option of publishing
ratings to Facebook on a case-by-case basis.
