Nexflix is taking this action. Maybe to get you and your friends talking about their movies.
In-fricking-credible.
Too bad a lot of folks accept "friends" who don't have any idea who they are.

Netflix announced Wednesday that it will integrate with Facebook to allow U.S. subscribers to track the viewing history of their Netflix-watching friends. The social feature, first teased at Facebook's f8 conference in 2011, has been available to users internationally for more than a year, but was unavailable to Netflix subscribers in the U.S. because of a little-known 1988 law prohibiting the publication of a person's video rental history.
