Is there any way to automatically (or even manually) share my rating of a movie on twitter after voting on it? I can't find any option on imdb/extension to do so, but on twitter there seems to be a lot of people with tweets like:


I rated The Outlaw Josey Wales 8/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075029 #IMDb



I rated Spring Breakers 1/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2101441 #IMDb


etc...

Which seem to be generated automatically. Am I missing something?

On the film's main page there is a Share button, which includes Twitter - does this not do what you want?

Not quite. The button shares the page of the movie. I was looking for a way to share my rating of it. Movie/books/music sites usually have an option to automatically share your ratings to twitter, facebook and other social networks. I was just wondering if I was somehow missing that option, since by the looks of it a lot of people on twitter seem to have found a way of doing that. Of course it's nothing urgent, since I can always manually create a tweet with my rating, I'm just curious of how people are doing it, since it would save me the trouble.

Thank you anyway, Emperor. ;)

Perhaps ask the people who do this on Twitter, who it is done?

Could it be a feature on the app, for example?

I tried asking yesterday. Unfortunately none of my actual twitter friends know how to do this either, so I resorted to asking strangers I see doing this on twitter how they do it. I tried about 10 people, no answer so far. They probably don’t bother answering questions to a stranger...can’t really blame them. It’s probably a feature of the imdb iphone/android app, or some complementary app. But I don’t use either device, so I can’t know for sure. Either way, the plug-in pbn shared does basically the same, so I’m going to use that for the time being. Thanks again!

I don't know if this is what those people are using, but I guess you could try it out:

Just installed it and it doesn't seem to be the same they're using, since it uses a different phrase and configuration to share the ratings, but it's pretty much what I was looking for, although it doesn't share the ratings automatically. It'll do just fine. Thank you!

The IMDb iPad app allows you to tweet your format in exactly the format the original question shows. It would be great if IMDb would be consistent across platforms and offer "tweet your rating" functionality from android, web a and all the other platforms. Come on IMDb!

I've created a simple web app that connects your Twitter account to your IMDB public rating feed. You can try it at www.tweetmyratings.com

To Bor,

I was hoping to use this to share my check ins, but the web app won't let me. Says it's an invalid rating url. Any way around that?
