What isn’t on Facebook these days? Well, it looks like now you can let your friends know what movies you’ve rented and watched too with the Netflix Updates application for Facebook. It’s a simple way to let people know one more thing about your personal life.
Whenever you get a movie from Netflix, the application will update your Facebook account with the news of a new film’s impending arrival. And when you get around to watching the flick, you can rate it and your friends can see what you thought of it.
It’s a pretty convenient way to keep track of what you’ve seen and what you thought of it and let people know about it all in one swoop. And don’t worry: if you don’t want people to know you rented Twilight again you can choose what your friends can and can’t see. The best part of this though is that your friends with Netflix can simply add movies that sound interesting on your news feed to their queues.

Not quite right. What happens is that after you connect your Netflix account to Facebook, when you rate movies those ratings are automatically published to Facebook. Netflix doesn’t currently publish anything about when you add movies to your queue or when you receive a movie.

FB connect is cool , Not sure why Netflix waited for a year to catch up…well I like Netflix . I also looked around to see what is the best available facebook application out there and by far Netflix Movie Wall (http://apps.facebook.com/netflixwall/ ) is the coolest application out there ….it lets you do a lot of cool things about a movie and see what your friends on facebook like and what your FB friends have in their Queue. One more cool thing they let you hide movies from your queue or rental history so you can only vide it and not your FB friends, I like privacy so I am a huge fan of this feature. I think they also have a long way to go but are doing thing better than other applications out there .
