Wireless Webbies who want to track the movies they’ve seen now have an option to do so: access by way of MemVideo, through which users can access their private video information on the Net or on their cell phone any time, any place.
The “viewer is the expert, and it is [his] feelings, opinions, and ratings which are preserved in a private database to be recalled or updated at their convenience,” MemVideo said announcing the new service.
MemVideo members can get their personal information by cell phone wherever they are, and can verify what they’ve seen and what they own before renting or buying new materials, the company said, not to mention reviewing their own ratings and comments while chatting with friends about favorite or unimpressive fare.
"While watching movies is such an enjoyable pastime, providing us with laughter, sometimes tears and occasionally cathartic release, we ought to have a better way to preserve our impressions and intimate feelings," said MemVideo creator Dick Roemer, announcing the program. "Our service can also help prevent frustrations: How many times have you eagerly started to watch a movie only to find you've seen it before?"
It’s a free, non-commercial service, the better to draw a broad membership while keeping the operational mode clear and fast, MemVideo said, using a simple checkbox interface so any age group can use the service, with updating data just a matter of minutes online. And the site also offers links to several major Websites offering more video resources.
