Facebook connect - share ratings

New feature, what do you think?

http://blog.netflix.com/2009/03/share-ratings-with-facebook-connect...

I set it up, it triggers for new ratings, or you can hit the star bar on a movie you have already rated and want to talk about. Then a comment thread starts up on Facebook with easy links to the movie display page, and to add to your queue immediately.

Now if I could just get the Jinni.com connection to work. It has failed about 50 times in a row. Don't know if it is a problem on Netflix's end or Jinni's.; ▶ Reply to This

More than I ever got from lavishing my pearls on the local swine.

If that's cancer, bring it on.; ▶ Reply to This

Then click on "Just (your name)" right under the box labeled "Write Something..." Under that will appear your recent activity which should include movies you have rated since linking the accounts.; ▶ Reply to This
