Facebook gotta play: Content providers surrender, hit movie rental service Netflix

Earlier this week, Warner Bros Entertainment announced that it will provide audio and video to users on the Facebook service, Netflix said that this is not a threat to them, but we are skeptical on this. After all, so far, the field has been online long video of the most popular choice is Netflix, iTunes or Amazon, for a long period of time, Netflix ahead of competitors.

Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sorandos said: "Netflix does not have to worry about the reason: people do not go to Facebook to see the film." Well, they do not go to Facebook to see the film, but that was before Facebook can not see the movie. Facebook's 600 million members (half day online) continues to be a good reason to visit this social networking site, rather than go to another movie site, it's hard to believe Netflix and other competitors will not feel to the pressure.

Although all or most members of Facebook can fully enjoy this new service also will take some time. But Warner plans to more countries in the IP section of this extension into the list, but so far only the United States, even if all of its states.

Warner Bros did not wish them to understand our terminology, they are promoting practical projects. This program is just a test, and they plan to assess them to do, and ultimately it can be upgraded to a multi-country use of services.

WB to what I want to start their new service? The Dark Knight has already earned more than 10 worldwide billion U.S. dollars, and you will not see it on Netflix. You can choose to Facebook to watch The Dark Knight, but you must provide Facebook's 30 points, roughly equivalent to $ 3. Netflix spent $ 10 for unlimited amount of movies, this is a good deal, but you can not watch the WB in the Netflix movie. So, in some ways like the two of us, it is difficult to have been.

Netflix investors apparently do not feel optimistic, because their stock prices Tuesday fell by 6%, Warner Bros era of recovery, and it has begun to rebound, and quite good, but it is clear people are still thinking .

This arrangement is good for the Facebook news. It is reported that 30% of each transaction it profit, may increase in a significant source of revenue has been injected into its original number of very strong earnings.

It makes us want to know what the future Facebook and other social media, what kind of features. Google mobile operating system, production and driving your own car, Facebook began to rent movies also, we believe the next few years will still interesting things to happen.
