JAMAN LAUNCHES FACEBOOK® CONNECT TO UNITE FILM LOVERS AROUND THE WORLD
San Mateo, Calif. - February 9, 2009- Jaman.com, a leading global community and online destination for high-definition and quality entertainment, today announced the implementation of Facebook® Connect to bring together friends and film enthusiasts around the world.
With Facebook Connect, users can quickly and easily sign into Jaman using their already established Facebook account, with no need for users to register separately for Jaman. Members are able to access their Facebook friends already on Jaman, enabling a trusted social context, and can publish their movie-watching activities and film reviews back on Facebook.
“Jaman has become an ultimate online film destination for fans to share their favorite movies within our expansive community,” said Gaurav Dhillon, founder and CEO of Jaman. “Through Facebook Connect, we are able to significantly enhance how people are discovering and enjoying entertainment.”
Recognizing that sharing plays an integral role in how people find and recommend films, Jaman has introduced a number of new social-networking features, including:
- Movie Finder: Set sliders to determine your movie mood: serious vs. funny; deep vs. shallow; or tears vs. bullets
- Jaman Movie Taste Test: A quick, fun quiz that helps Jaman make personalized recommendations for films you will like
- People Finder: Enables Jaman members to discover people with similar movie tastes
- The Subtitler: Lets members re-write captions on foreign film clips
- Interactive World Map: Live scroll of Jaman user activity across the globe
Jaman's library presents film festival favorites, Bollywood films, art-house dramas, provocative documentaries, cult classics, Kung Fu action movies, and a collection of the world's award-winning shorts. The company has recently announced partnerships to distribute premier film titles from Paramount Pictures, Eros International, Lionsgate, Magnolia Pictures, First Look Films, Arts Alliance America and BBC Worldwide America.
Facebook's mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected. Facebook users communicate and share information through the social graph, the network of connection and relationships between people. With more than 150 million active users, Facebook is the fourth-most trafficked website in the United States. In 2007, Facebook launched Facebook Platform to empower developers and entrepreneurs around the world to make the Web more social for users. Millions of Facebook users return to the site each day, providing unparalleled distribution potential for applications and the opportunity to build a business that is highly relevant to people's lives.
