The users’ mini profiles have experienced some visual modifications. The idea was to structure the different elements included in the profile in a user-friendly way - to make it easier for users to discover the key features presented there e.g. movie timeline, top-rated -list and the messaging utility.

A tip to all new users: You can subscribe to your friends timeline feeds (feed portrayed at your FilmGator front page at this point) by clicking on a users nickname and then choosing the option “follow this user” from the mini profile. In addition to the “recently seen by your friends” feed on the front page you will also see how your friends have rated the movies they’ve seen, this has been especially useful to me when looking for new movies to watch. Don’t forget to add the FilmGator Facebook application to your Facebook profile, so your friends can find you at FilmGator!

Also, the “movies” section of the site now offers the possibility to list all movies in addition to the genre -based listings. This section was actually one of the original main elements of FilmGator with its AJAX -centered design, which was aimed at giving users the possibility to smoothly and quickly rate and sort through lots of movies and to use the “+” expansion button for getting quick movie details when needed.
