IHM Adds Facebook Connect
It's pretty uncommon anymore to find someone that doens't have a Facebook account. Really, try it. Almost everyone has one. And because of that, IHM has decided to integrate with Facebook Connect.
From this point on, any new user has the option of signing up for IHM the normal way (creating an account by giving us their information) or they can signup through their Facebook account. Clicking the "Register with Facebook" button will provide you wtih a prompt that asks if it's cool with you that we connect to your account. Once you allow it, we're good to go and get your account put in the oven so it's baked fresh based on your profile ASAP.
Once you've signed up through the Facebook Connect process, you'll be able to forever log into the site through your Facebook account. To do this, go to the sign in page (like normal), but click the "Log in with Facebook" option. It's that easy.
So, if you're new and have been thinking about joining, we've made it a whole lot easier for you. Now to find out just how amazing IHM is, all you have to do is press a button. Just press the button.
While we're in a testing period with these new features, you may find some bugs. If you do, please don't hesitate to let us know. We'll get all your problems fixed right up right away.
IHM Goes Mobile
Have you ever been stuck at the theater trying to pick out the right movie for you without any info? Or have you debated with friends over who was in what movie or if a sequel was made of it? Have you ever watched a movie only to want to update your rating on it as soon as you leave the theater? We've got an answer for you now.
Today, we're releasing the first version of IHM Mobile. The site will turn into a complete mobile version of IHM that allows you to access all the benefits of IHM in a much more mobile friendly way. We've stripped back a lot of regular IHM to make this version that flies when cruising it on your mobile phone.
We decided to not only give the benefits of our site to our great IHM members, but to add some features for non-IHMers (or not-logged-in users).
As an nonIHM member/not-logged-in user, you can:
- Search for movies/tv shows and get their info
- See the IHM user's average rating on films/tv shows
- Browse the photo galleries for films/tv shows
- Browse the top/bottom 50 films on IHM
- Browse films and tv shows we've just added into our database
- Register to become an IHM member
As an IHM member, you can do all of the above and:
- Add movies to your collection
- Rate and categorize movies
- Leave public comments on films that display to the world on the film's page
If you have data access on your mobile phone, point it to http://m.iheartmovies.org to check it out.
As we measure the usage of the mobile site, we're looking to get lots of feedback from you all. We're hoping to add more and more possibilities to it to allow you to connect to IHM as easy as possible. And beyond just positive feedback, let us know if it looks ugly as can be on your phone or you run into any problems.
