Hey folks! In case you haven’t checked out
our movie community yet, now’s your chance to get in on
the action big-time! We’ve just launched our latest
version of Movie Fan
Central (MFC 2.2), which adds a bunch of cool new
features to our little online movie community (56,000
members+). So not only can you make movie friends, write
your own reviews, post blogs, images and videos to your
profile, upload your DVD/Blu-Ray collection and include
your top 10 lists (all free, of course), here are some
of the latest additions…
1) WALL COMMENTS: Not only can
you comment on other people’s updates, but you can now
post directly on their “wall”, just like
Facebook.
2) EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS: You now
have the capacity to receive email notifications for any
updates regarding your profile. If you want to know when
you’ve received a “friend request”, you can
make that happen. If you want to know when someone has
commented on your wall or replied to your comment or
anything else…you can now make that happen via your
“Account Settings” section.
3) TOP 100 BADGES: “Badges,
we don’t need no stinkin’ badges!” Sure you do!
In order to keep track of our most active schmoes, we’ve
created top 100 lists for each section of the MFC,
including the top 100 commenters, top 100 DVD
collections, top 100 reviews, etc… If you make the top
100 in any category, you will receive a badge at the top
of your profile and a handjob (sans handjob).
4) BECOME A FAN! This is one of
my favorite new features! By the click of a button, you
can now “become a fan” of any of the 250
HOTTIES listed in our MovieHotties.com
galleries, as well as any of the 7,000 MOVIES
listed in our JoBlo.com
movie database. All you have to do is click on the
“become a fan” button on those pages and
voila…you’re a fan! We’ll be adding more such
functionalities across the entire JoBlo Movie Network
over time…
5) MORE MOVIE THEMES (SKINS): We
love ’em, you love ’em so get ready for at least 10 new
movie themes to “skin” your profile. We
currently have 13 themes already in place including PULP
FICTION, THE DARK KNIGHT, FIGHT CLUB and others, but get
ready for your LORD OF THE RINGS, STAR WARS, KILL BILL and many others to come. We’ll be adding 2/week
for the next few weeks. For the launch, we’ve added THE
BIG LEBOWSKI and ALIENS!
6) WHO ELSE IS LIKE ME? You now
have the ability to see how among the rest of our 56,000
members owns the same DVDs/Blu-Rays as you (click on the
title of the DVD in your collection), and who else has
the same “favorites” as you do on your top
10/community lists (click on the hyperlinked movie
titles on your lists).
7) EMAIL/PM FOLDERS: Our MFC
email/private messaging system has also been updated, so
that you can now save/forward emails, as well as create
folders in which to save them.
8) CHAT/GAMES: That’s right, as if
discussing all things related to movies in our forums
wasn’t enough, or all of the “Strike Back”
sections across all of the sites in our network, we now
have a full-blown CHAT section which will allow you to
get into major chat sessions with a bunch of other
schmoes or go private 1:1 with a particular schmoe that you
want. It’s free, it’s cool and it’s stoner-friendly! PS:
The chat program also includes over 100 flash games you
can play while on the MFC…
9) FRIENDS UPDATES CUSTOMIZATION: Right
now, as soon as you’re a friend with someone else, you
will see all of their updates on your HOME page, but
with MFC 2.2., you now have the ability to
restrict what updates you want to see from your friends
(if any).
10) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! If you
check into your account on the date of your birth, you
will receive one of 8 randomly selected “Birthday
messages” on your profile page (males/females
receive different salutes). Below is one of the randomly
chosen male birthday wishes.
Other smaller additions include the
ability…
– to listen to our latest podcasts while
surfing the MFC
– to choose which poster you want
to use for your movie reviews
– to see the average score from all
schmoes on reviews
– to add RSS feeds from other sites
to your profile
– to keep track of the # of
comments you have throughout the JoBlo Movie Network
including Strike Backs, forums and the MFC
– next/previous links below all images
– rolling figures on all portal page
items
– to “remember” your
LOG-IN
– to update your password
Phew, I think that’s about it, folks.
If you haven’t checked the MFC out yet,
this might be the perfect time to do so, and if you dig
on it, please share with your friends and spread the
word. Thanks to Face3media
