MovieAB - A tiny movie mashup

Announcing MovieAB -- a mashup of freely available movie data APIs from around the internet. A catalog of over 170000 movie titles, tv series, programs available on DVD, actors and directors is available at the moment, and keeps growing every day.

Try a sample page for the movie Spider-Man 2. Every movie info page displays DVD box-art image, netflix user ratings, genres, a short summary, cast, awards and nominations and movie reviews from NYTimes if its available.

MovieAB came up as an idea to implement Netflix's API, after they decided to open up their vast catalog of movie data to third party developers. This was soon followed up with New York Times' decision to open up their comprehensive movie reviews api to third party developers. I can't thank them enough.

And, what's this AB? Well, I have no idea. This was the smallest domain name available. iMovie, gMovie, LiveMovie are all taken

Many thanks to Kamaleshwar for designing this clean and simplistic logo. More artwork requests from me are coming your way! If you liked the application, have suggestions for improvement, criticisms, bug reports or general feedback - write in to feedback (at) movieab.com.

Looks interesting.

I'm not giving up my ubiquity command for IMDB search though. Maybe you can write one too.

cheers

Hey Nilesh, putting it into ubiquity sounds interesting! I'll add it to the todo list.
