IMDb API??
By tim
Interesting back-channel email conversation with Phil Torrone: “i talked to hb from imdb. here’s what i told him i’d to do with an imdb api / access to some of the data…
1. Fastr-like game for movies. If you’ve ever played Fastr, you’re addicted - it pulls in Flickr photos and you guess what they were tagged with - you compete with others, and it’s way too much fun. For IMDB, I’d do the same, you get photos of actors, directors, stills from movies, etc. You can guess a variety of things, it’s timed, you can have teams, etc - you could do ads on and between rounds, a quick “buy the DVDs/etc you saw here”. This could also make a good mobile game for phones.
