FilmSuggest: Discover Movies Based on your Favorites

FilmSuggest is a movie recommendation site which suggests movies based on the ones that you have seen. If you’re looking for a movie which are similar to the ones that you’ve watched you can view FilmSuggest’s recommendations by rating a few movies that you have seen. If you are into alien and sci-fi movies, then you can expect highly rated recommendations similar to the movies that you have seen.

The service uses the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) to get the titles, genres, actors, directors, plots, and MPAA ratings. It uses Amazon’s database for DVD cover artwork and of course, a link to the store where you can make a purchase. The DVD / BluRay artwork may not always be present but the information about the movie such as actors and plots are available upon mouseover.

In your FilmSuggest profile, you can also add a wish list, show collection to friends (social networking feature is coming soon) and view most popular movies based on user ratings. You can prevent movies that you have already seen from appearing on the suggestions list by simply rating them and updating the suggestion list.

TubeGraph: Embedabble Dynamic Rating for YouTube Videos

TubeGraph is a YouTube tool which allows you to place a dynamic rating tool alongside a YouTube video. The dynamic rating comes in the form of a Graph, not unlike the rating feature that we see in YouTube or the post rating plugins that we see on websites.

You can rate a video while watching by moving the slider on the right side of the video. Drag the slider when watching the video and move it up if you like what you’re seeing or down if you don’t like it.

If the video has been rated before, its average graph is displayed. Once you finish rating, your personal graph will also be shown. You can compare your rating against the average rating of the video. This will let you know what others think of the video against your opinion in the form of a graph.

TubeGraph is an interesting YouTube Add-on/Tool. It is still under development.  On the sample below, the graph that you see is the excitement factor of the video. This will let users know which part of the video is the best part according to the people who rated it. It could use some design improvement and high quality support for new YouTube vids, as of now the important thing is that it works.

Draw Share Rate Online Drawings with Rate My Drawings

Rate My Drawing is one of many online drawing sites where you can create your art using their online drawing tool. The site uses a Flash based online drawing tool which I find easy to use and get used to. If you are used to drawing on paper then you will notice a difference in your strokes but you will get used to it in no time. You can check out their drawing tool below.

Once your drawing is complete you can submit it so that you can share it in your blogs or friends on your social networking site. The submitted drawing remains unlocked until you have confirmed through email which will unlock the drawing for public viewing so that other users can rate your drawing accordingly. The rating is from 1 to 10, 1 being a Disaster and 10 for Master.

Don’t let the rating system stop you from making your own online drawing if you are a beginner or if you think that you are not good enough. This is a great site for learning different techniques from other artists. What I like about Rate My Drawings (aside from having very easy to use tools) is that when you view other artists’ drawings, the flash movie shows how the artist made the drawing starting from the first stroke up to when he/she finished it. This gives information on how the drawing is done which allows others to learn from it. Below is a remarkable drawing created by Roki.
