Arguing about tastes: Poster website is a film application for Vkontakte
With a running start rushing into the abyss of social marine waters, Afisha yesterday launched its first external application: A test for film compatibility for all the many millions of users of the Vkontakte site.

The idea is very simple - cinema is also one of the most popular entertainment; it is both a way to show oneself and a topic for conversation. Therefore, the coincidence of film interest is a convenient indicator for meeting other people, often more eloquent than school, university, place of work, or even personal diaries and photos.
As you know, "Vkontakte", one of the two Main Sites For Ordinary People, in March released its API for external services - applications made in flash. The Poster Film Compatibility Test is an application that uses the capabilities of an open interface in full growth, unlike most games that occupy the first lines in the top popular applications today.
To check compatibility, we need two users. The application must be with you and the one with whom you want to compare yourself, and you must collect at least a few films with ratings with it, otherwise the comparison will not make sense.
If both you and the one who interests you have already added the application to themselves, it is enough to go to the application from the user’s page , and the compatibility test will tell you how close your tastes are.
Ratings put on movies can be viewed here, scrolling through the list, sorted so that the best films are always on top. At the bottom of the window, there is a stripe changing its color with a verdict, showing a coincidence in percent and explaining whether you have much in common with this person, and whether it is worth hoping for anything at all.
After authorization, the application begins to offer movies that need to put asterisks. Ratings are accumulated and saved on the Poster site, and the application, knowing which user is currently viewing it and on whose page it is installed, counts matches.
Registration is very short - just enter your login and password from the Poster, or register from scratch.
If you enter data from the Poster, then all the estimates will be automatically uploaded (for all ten years of your use of this site). To register again, just one click is enough: the account will be created automatically, and you will not have to enter anything else. Then begins the most addictive - voting for movies.
The application will offer you movies for evaluation, interesting and not so, page by page. As you move the interest bar at the bottom will be filled. By the bar you can understand how accurate your comparison with other users will be - the less films you rate, the more doubtful your profile, the less correct the comparison will be.
Just do not get carried away: if you look at percentages without a break, then at first it seems that the scale is infinite. This is an illusion - there really is a threshold beyond which the road to nirvana begins (we checked!):
Since this version of the test is the first, there are many things that we want to change, improve, redo and redraw, this does not prevent us from using it today, which is already happening today.
In the meantime, we are looking forward to when Vkontakte will not only show links to applications in the far corner, but also allow the user to hang them on his page if they wish so that they are visible along with the rest of the information. And there is also a news feed, and there are invitations by mail to go to the cinema, and also ... In general, a lot of things.
Tell us what you would like and how you use the test. Well, come, yes.

What gives the compatibility test
To check compatibility, we need two users. The application must be with you and the one with whom you want to compare yourself, and you must collect at least a few films with ratings with it, otherwise the comparison will not make sense.
If both you and the one who interests you have already added the application to themselves, it is enough to go to the application from the user’s page , and the compatibility test will tell you how close your tastes are.

At the bottom of the window, there is a stripe changing its color with a verdict, showing a coincidence in percent and explaining whether you have much in common with this person, and whether it is worth hoping for anything at all.
How it works
After authorization, the application begins to offer movies that need to put asterisks. Ratings are accumulated and saved on the Poster site, and the application, knowing which user is currently viewing it and on whose page it is installed, counts matches.
Registration is very short - just enter your login and password from the Poster, or register from scratch.

What's next
Since this version of the test is the first, there are many things that we want to change, improve, redo and redraw, this does not prevent us from using it today, which is already happening today.
