I've been a long time member of IMDB and a huge fan of the site since its beginnings. I think IMDB has revolutionized fan access to the film and tv industry, and I thank them for all that you do.
That being said, I feel as though since the site made the decision to remove message boards, the communal aspect of IMDB has suffered a bit. I understand their rationale for doing so at the time. But, have they considered the possibility of setting up a more personal profile interface for users?
I'm specifically thinking of the "Goodreads" model - which, if you haven't seen it, is a great way for fans of books to post what they're reading, the progress they're making, and commentary on the movies/TV shows others watching. An individual's "friends" can then like their updates, make comments, etc., and the site has a "newsfeed" similar to the way Facebook does things.
Just thought I'd submit it as an idea for the future of the site.
Thanks!
Matt
