Netflix Connects with Facebook

Recently Netflix announced that it would be partnering with the new Facebook connect program. Facebook connect is a program implemented by Facebook which allows users to connect their facebook page to other accounts they have across the web. The partnership with Netflix will allow users to post recent movie ratings to their facebook page. This will allow the user’s friends to see the ratings they have given to movies in the user’s newsfeed. Right now users can choose to send all ratings to the news feed or make on a choice by choice basis. Many developers are beginning to adopt facebook connect and Netflix is a great highlight to how well the system can work. Users can now easily share their movie preferences and entice their friends into trying Netflix. Netflix users can link their account to face book at http://www.netflix.com/facebookconnect.
