Movie rental site, Netflix, has recently been adding new features to it's arsenal. Some of these features fall into the realm of social networking. If you are a Netflix member you should hop on over to the Netflix Community section and try them out. Maybe you'll learn something new about your friends.



The first two things you'll notice in the Community section are the Top 10 lists and the movie reviews. The movie reviews that people post to Netflix are continually added to this page. You can read movie reviews people have added and then you can click through to see other movie reviews by the same person. Then you can rate the movie reviews. From the person's movie review page you can also see what their favorite movies are.

The Top 10 lists are lists created by Netflix members. Read through some of the lists that may interest you. Then create a list of your own.

Further down the page you'll see the "Unique in..." section. Here you can find movies that are favorites in the area you live. This way you can see what the people you live closest to like to watch.

You'll also find a section that will help you find people on Netflix who like the same kinds of movies you like. See their movie ratings list and rate the movies yourself. The person who liked highest percentage of the same movies that I liked was 73%.
