WatchThis goes social! (and some other cool new features)

Long story short: you can now follow your friends, see what they’re up to on the site and show off your new, revamped profile

Since we officially launched WatchThis almost five months ago, we received a lot of feedback from you. You all love the site’s simplicity. We only offer features you use often, to easily discover good movies, keep track of them and recommend the ones you loved.

However, we felt something big was missing. Until now, WatchThis was a service you would use for yourself only. Now, you will be able to interact with other users. Behold…

That’s right. You can now find and follow your friends on WatchThis, see what movies they’re planning to watch, what movie they just saw or commented on and what comment they found interesting. It’s really easy: just go to their profile and click the “Follow” button (yes, just like on Twitter!)

We’re also happy to introduce another new feature: you can now proudly tell what your favorite movies are: just go to a movie’s page and ★ it, it will appear on your profile.

Some of the most exciting opportunities of the redesign of your profile are new ways to interact with users *outside* of the site. You want to contact another user? Click on the Twitter or Facebook link on their profile and send them a message! Your profile is now much more interesting with your four top-rated comments and a link to read all your interesting comments, below your favorite movies.

Finally, we often found ourselves wanting to watch a movie with someone else but unable to tell what movies we both *need* to watch. There’s now an easy way to know that: just go to a friend’s profile and you’ll see this:

We hope you’re going to enjoy this!

See you on WatchThis.
