Let MyMovieMatch pick a flick for you
MyMovieMatch from Matchmine is a 'media discovery platform'. What exactly does that mean? They will port together information it generates from you and will spit out some recommendations based on your personal tastes.
MyMovieMatch basically helps match up movies when you just cant decide. It gets to know people's likes and dislikes, then scowers its shelves to find the best movie, video or music option for them. It's another one of those AIR applications that was built using Flex 2. So you are required to install Apollo to run this sucker as it is the glue that holds your desktop and web together in order for the app to work properly. The process is started off by training the application as to what types of content the user likes. This is then exported as a MatchKey, which is a 'sophisticated mathematical representation of your personal interests' file to your desktop.
It's a neat idea, but strikes us as a little to complex for a movie picking application. It does get the job done if you want to spend a little time with it, however. Is it really necessary? It could be if you just don't have the time to stop by your local video store and ask an employee for a recommendation.
