Facebook electronic leases for films being tested

A brand new feature is available for Warner Bros. It's on a Facebook page. It's possible to rent and stream films on Facebook. Users have this ability now. Only a few movies, including “The Dark Knight,” are available right now. A 48 hour film rental costs 30 Facebook credits. About $3 can be paid for that. About 30 percent of Facebook users in the United States have access to this option right now.

Netflix dealing with stock decrease due to Facebook streaming movies

The Facebook Movies information has not been good for everyone. In fact, the online rental business has definitely not benefited from it. In the first hour after the announcement was made, there was a 3 percent drop in Netflix shares. About 20 percent of traffic on the internet involves Netflix. In Dec. of 2010, a report found that Facebook accounted for almost 10 percent of online traffic to video-sharing sites. Netflix might start seeing some competition soon if the content becomes accessible to everybody considering the traffic of Facebook linked to the in-line video sharing.

Necessary Facebook Credits looked over

Facebook Movies are the first major non-game application to make use of Facebook's soon-to-be-required payment system. The ratio for Facebook credits is 1 to 10. That means 10 Facebook credits are given for every $1 paid. It is possible that Facebook Credits will only be tied to the dollar for a short time. It could very well end up tied to something else soon. The Facebook monetary system is done specifically so it can change its income. The income increases when the conversion rate is simply changed. If Facebook were to change the rate, for instance, to nine Facebook credits per dollar, the business would increase its revenue by 1.1 cents per credit purchased. Just a tiny increase like this could make a huge difference for the business. This small increase is multiplied by billions for increased earnings.
