I second Marshall's comment. Here here! Now....which source is actually the biggest? I'm going to bet it's either IMDB or Wikipedia.

Which links are you referring to?

So why is it that every time I want more info or suggestions about movies, Glue always sends me to Netflix? I have commented numerous times that I don't do Netflix anymore, and their movie notes are sub-par. That is why I recommended IMDB as the "go-to" for movies and not Netflix.
BTW, I am not anti-Netflix, I just don't find their site or information that useful.

It really was a pleasant surprise (and we're always happy to share the findings). The fact that it's a wider web - in this case - is further reason why the user should be empowered to control their data.

Imagine the richness of Netflix's recommendations if they had access to your movie data from across the web? No more would the recommend a movie that I just purchased from Amazon. It may sound trite in this specific example, but the benefits are clear.

Only 15%! It's really nice to see when services like this are getting more data from outside the expected sources than you'd think. Like Bit.ly told me the other day only 40% of their URL encodes originate on twitter.com. Now this! It's a wider web than people think. Thanks for sharing data.
