Everyone is building social networks these days but one area that has been quite badly served up to now has been networks for film lovers.
Flixster is probably the largest and most well-known of these networks but it has always struck me as being a nice idea poorly implemented.
I also signed up to
Spout some time ago, which has some nice features but nothing to really hold my attention and I have now pretty much abandoened the site. Then there is
Withoutabox, a network for independent filmmakers, festivals and audiences which, again, is great for discovering new films but lacks any real social features. And it's slow.
Now there's a new kid on the block. Or, to be more accurate,
Filmaster is just about to move in since the site is currently at beta. But it's promising a lot.
