Movie Site - Web 2.0 & Amazon Money Maker

I just stumbled up WatchThisNext.com from one of the many blogs I read every few days. At first it just seemed like a fun, and addictive web 2.0 web site. They show you 4 movies and you drag and drop them into one of 3 categories... and another movie appears.

It's addictive, hypnotic, whatever. I'm sure the movie site would make Joe Vitale proud. Speaking of Joe, have you read his latest bestselling book yet? It's another winner, don't miss it!

WatchThisNext.com, besides perhaps suggesting a movie you may want to see, is sort of pointless. But it's a great example of web 2.0 in use... and it may also be a money maker for the creator as every title links over to Amazon. Not that Amazon pays all that well, (though they did just increase commissions for sales of 20 or more items), but it will probably make them some decent money.

Too bad there isn't any way to save your selections... and they should probably also add a banner for NetFlix and perhaps Blockbuster to make even more money. I just wish I thought of this viral web site first.
