Movie recommendation service Jinni launches public beta

Jinni is a movie recommendation engine that helps you find films based on a number of factors. You can sort by genre, plot, mood, time/period, target audience or other factors. Probably the coolest feature is the "more like it" function which helps you find movies that you'd probably like based on the movie you're currently looking at. It's kind of like Netflix recommendations without that whole Netflix movie rental part.

Last time we checked out Jinni, the service was still in private beta. The Jinni team recently removed the "private" portion and launched a public beta. That means anyone can use Jinni without registering or signing in. Registered users do get a couple of perks like he ability to add titles to your favorites or wish list, create profiles, and connect with other users. You can also view your "movie personality" based on your preferences.

Users can also share their Jinni actions on Facebook and Twitter. Jinni isn't an online video site that lets you watch videos. Rather, once you find titles you like, Jinni directs you to sources where you can purchase or view the films including Netflix, Amazon, and Jaman.
