Recomendación IMDB

Gustavo Ahlen — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 06:00:35 +0000

IMDB es una de las páginas que frecuento semanalmente, en la cual se puede encontrar una gran diversidad de películas de todos los géneros.
Cuando se busca una película, indexa los nombres con sus años correspondientes.
A lo largo de años, he encontrado todas las películas, y he conocido cientos a través de esta web. La misma contiene la base de datos más grande que existe en la NET.

Consejo: Algo que recomiendo es crear una cuenta de usuario, y una vez logueados nos permite adherir las películas favoritas en My Movies. De esta manera, podemos guardar nuestras películas por orden alfabético, u ordenarlas por genero, etc.

Update on Terms (Mark Zuckerberg)

A couple of weeks ago, we revised our terms of use hoping to clarify some parts for our users. Over the past couple of days, we received a lot of questions and comments about the changes and what they mean for people and their information. Based on this feedback, we have decided to return to our previous terms of use while we resolve the issues that people have raised.

Many of us at Facebook spent most of today discussing how best to move forward. One approach would have been to quickly amend the new terms with new language to clarify our positions further. Another approach was simply to revert to our old terms while we begin working on our next version. As we thought through this, we reached out to respected organizations to get their input.

Going forward, we’ve decided to take a new approach towards developing our terms. We concluded that returning to our previous terms was the right thing for now. As I said yesterday, we think that a lot of the language in our terms is overly formal and protective so we don’t plan to leave it there for long.

More than 175 million people use Facebook. If it were a country, it would be the sixth most populated country in the world. Our terms aren’t just a document that protect our rights; it’s the governing document for how the service is used by everyone across the world. Given its importance, we need to make sure the terms reflect the principles and values of the people using the service.

Our next version will be a substantial revision from where we are now. It will reflect the principles I described yesterday around how people share and control their information, and it will be written clearly in language everyone can understand. Since this will be the governing document that we’ll all live by, Facebook users will have a lot of input in crafting these terms.

You have my commitment that we’ll do all of these things, but in order to do them right it will take a little bit of time. We expect to complete this in the next few weeks. In the meantime, we’ve changed the terms back to what existed before the February 4th change, which was what most people asked us for and was the recommendation of the outside experts we consulted.

If you’d like to get involved in crafting our new terms, you can start posting your questions, comments and requests in the group we’ve created—Facebook Bill of Rights and Responsibilities. I’m looking forward to reading your input.
