How To Use Flixster
In learning how to use Flixster, a person first needs to decide just how much he or she really loves movies. This website is a social networking tool for people who are crazy passionate for movies. It's a site for the person who watches every Hollywood news program and has his or her room just filled with movie posters and pictures of celebrities on the wall. If there isn't an extreme passion for everything in Hollywood, then this website just might not be for you. On the other hand, this is the place if you want to meet other people who are just as into Tinsel town, Bollywood and Indie as you might be, and then learning how to use Flixster might be a great thing to do.
The first thing to do when learning how to use Flixster is to become a member, which is free of charge. Email address and password are all that are needed to get started. Once that has been done, the next thing to do is build your profile. When a person writes things about himself, it ought to be interestingly written. Like any other social network, the profile is where a person will be able to get people interested in talking to the new member and finding out more about the new member as a person, so make your words compelling. At this particular website, the new member can add a favorite quote or make one up yourself. And the user will be asked to write something about himself, so come on, and make it interesting. Be mysterious, coy and make others want to get to know the person hidden inside.
The next thing to do after filling out the person profile is get a list of friends posted. As Flixster is fond of saying, it's a pretty useless website without friends to share it with, so a person really needs a lot of acquaintances participating also. When a person learns how to use Flixster to its full potential, it becomes clear that the website must have interaction between people or it has no real value or purpose. Because Instant Messaging is now available on Flixster, a person can talk to his or her friends who are also on the site. Jesus said, "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." This is a pretty cruel world that we live in, and the name of the game seems to be only looking out for yourself. Jesus encourages people to extend to others mercy, which means not giving people what they deserve, whether it is an angry retort, an act of revenge or just returning what they have dished out to us.
The strength of Flixster is in the power of community, and there is a Community drop down menu that a person needs to master while learning how to use Flixster. This particular feature allows a user to find people who like the same movies, have the same hobbies, follow the same celebrities and other similarities. There is the ability to find people who are online at the moment and may want to talk through IM. Through the community menu a user can look to see who has used Flixster the most minutes for the month and can contact them if so desired. Perhaps one of the most interesting features of the Community menu is the forum option that a user can employ. Twenty one different forums invite people to come aboard and post comments. These forums are mainly movie based, but they also cover such subjects as video games, sports, sci-fi, TV, music and books.
People can get pretty serious on those forums! You'd think that life and death hung in the balance over the next show of Desperate Housewives. But the forums are a great place to learn tolerance and diversity through the expression of others' opinions and insights. And a person is not limited to the many forum topics that are posted. Users have the ability to request new forum subjects, and part of learning how to use Flixster is seeing what forum topic suggestions are accepted by the site managers. Perhaps the most creative opportunities on the website is the Flixster Wiki, part of the Community menu. This particular option allows a person to build a page that people will want to read about various movie topics.
And what is an entertainment website without quizzes and games and polls just for fun? In learning how to use Flixster, a person needs to take advantage of the Fun and Games drop down menu. First, there are the user quizzes which those who have learned how to use Flixster to their fullest advantage have devised themselves. Various members are continually constructing hip little quizzes to test one's movie knowledge IQ. There is the never ending quiz which tests movie trivia knowledge and allows users to take it at anytime and the questions never run out.
There are the personality tests galore on Flixster, all constructed by various users. In these personality tests a person gets to answer questions like, what animal are you, are you an optimist or pessimist, which X-Men character are you, what is you love color and which celebrity are you? Also under the Fun and Games menu are the lists that users compile for entertainment. Lists such as the best underdog movies, the best car chase scenes, the best sci-fi movies and best movies with a twist ending are included. And of course, there is the ability to actually watch streaming movies on Flixster also, a nice touch to a free site.
