MovieRatings: Web 2.0 Usability
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2008, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The following paper presents the results of the MovieRatings (MOVR) project, a Rich Internet Application developed using the current generation of Web technologies, with an emphasis on Web 2.0 principles and usability aspects. The application was meant to provide cinephiles with an interactive environment for exchanging movie related information and rating the top movies in the database. We have used external web services from Flickr and YouTube, as well as the International Movie Database (IMDB) as data sources.
