I helped build this with our team at MediaHound to solve a really simple problem - finding a movie to watch that my wife and I will both like.

We would love for you to check it out and give us some feedback - try a few combinations of movies and filter by your favorite sources.

We are using our new API - The Entertainment Graph [https://developer.mediahound.com] to power the site. Looking forward to your feedback and answering any questions!

dbachrach | 16 years ago | on: Ask HN: What's missing in a CS degree?

One of the best things I've heard: Be wary of anything claiming to be the real-world that is not actually in the real-world. Teaching "real-world" computer programming in school is an impossible goal. You only get the real-world experience when you are out in it. CS should prepare you for the real world, and help expose you to the real-world, but it's almost impossible to teach it. What CS does teach you is the bigger things. The bigger concepts that go beyond software engineering, or any particular project in particular. You learn how to think about big things and hard problems. CS at a university is not a prep course for your job per se. It's not a trade school. You're learning things that can be applied in the real-world but transcend the real-world. It's important to realize that there are more important things than just being able to program C# for your job.

Couple ideas to add:

1) Being able to share links to a group of people. Often i'll share links with coworkers, and it'd be nice to have a record.

2) Custom lists. So I can make shareable lists of related links.

Yeah, definitely look more into unifying and integrating facebook and twitter.

Interesting idea. Can people can use delicious to sort of do the same thing? I think at least for now, you should have it post-through to a person's twitter/delicious/facebook. I have followers on twitter that might be interested in my links, but if I post them on howl, no one will see it (because you just started and there aren't too many users). It's also better than twitter because it pulls images and text like Facebook does. Pownce also did this type of thing, so learn from their experience. Good luck!
