Yeah a 15 year old programmer. But is he GETTIN LAAAAAID?Just remember, there are a lot of these startup web 2.0 sites. 75% of them fade out from being fairly useless.
yeah, i dont see how this isn't encompassed in the "favorite movies" sections of facebook and myspace. it's not a significant difference enough to use both.
Not exactly a model of web 2.0. The sites layout is done a nasty mess of nested tables. Also, many of the links are javascript calls which is also an accessibility no-no.-bradly
It's a list keeper at the moment.The recommendations don't seem to bear any relevance to the movies I've added. There's no way of telling it to ignore a movie without adding it to your list and 'not recommending' it, and even that doesn't do much. I 'not recommended' Back to the Future and its top 2 recommendations are now Back to the Future 2 and 3. D'oh.Worth coming back to in a few months to see if it's moved on, but not much use to me at the moment.

Web 1.0 = spinning globes and horrible sites.Web 2.0 = rounded corners, big fonts & gradients and can't handle the Digg effect.
