Change Password - AT&T Yahoo! Internet

Change Password - AT&T Yahoo! Internet: "Your password has been changed for ALL of your services
Alert

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Now that your password has been changed, you need to update it as follows:

* DSL Equipment: If the connection properties are stored on a modem or router (e.g. 5100B Modem, 2 Wire Router) you need to enter your new password in the appropriate configuration screen.
* Connection Properties: If you connect to the internet by clicking on an icon on your desktop (e.g. Enternet 300 Icon) you need to enter your new password in the connection properties.
* Home Page and E-mail: The next time you try to access your AT&T Yahoo! homepage, you will be prompted for the new password. This is also effective for Web Mail. If you use an e-mail client (e.g. Outlook Express) you can enter the new password when prompted, or you can go to the e-mail account properties and change it now."

Here we should keep track of similar sites.
-what's same
-what's different
-how easy it is to copy a different feature

I'll start
www.spout.com
already has thriving community

Bugs

1.same movie , but different SKUs get added
2.Application(RAIL) error
3.cannot search comments across seegest (can search when using 'my movies' option)
4. Everytime I edit, it comes with a different movie image !

Seegest blog

M sure Raghu will be overwhelmed with new ideas, benchmark sites, suggestions.

I have always found that initial ideas; however wild and distant; shud be captured, preserved and re-visited from time to time. There's a priority and time for everything.

That's what the blog is for.

Yap Yap Yap

The central idea of seejest is not movie info or reviews, it's about recommending good movies.

Good sites for movie reviews
  • rottentomatoes
  • metacritic
  • amazon
  • rediff (for hindi)
  • mouthshut (for hindi)
These are not our competition. We need to find what is.

Site should focus on two aspects:
A.movie recommendations (Aah, that's the movie i want to see ..)
B. immediate follow-up action (now what ?!)

A. Recco
Every Movie page shud have some stats
-Rank by avg rating
-Wishlist
-Recommend

Quick recco:
There should to be a rating meter (possibly customized for user)
let's not go into algorithm aspect, but start with a simple data crunching screen to give
-most viewed movies
-highest rated movies

movies need to be filtered
Filter by
-my friends (must)
-language
-genre
-cast and crew (!?)

B. About the follow-up action
movies could be acquired thru' various channels

Buy
  • Online, in store (new/used)
  • cable VDO on demand
  • go to theater if currently playing
Rent
  • Online (netflicks, BB total access)
  • Instore (BB/Hollywood)
Borrow
  • from public library
  • from a friend who owns it
  • borrow a rented movie
Free
  • VDO download by p2p
  • VDO sites like youtube
  • on TV
Need to figure how each could be facilitated. simplest form is by providing ready links to sites, with possibly sending the movie name to the site api. (i have seen this done very well. wud post site name when i remember)


Then there's the social aspect. If bunch of guys are interested in seeing a movie, they can follow with a social activity like movie club. Friday GTG. Plan to go out to movies etc .. best to integrate with some calendar function like yahoo or google.
