I am looking for some input on what type of Facebook integration people are looking for.

Personally, I'm not really interested by any Facebook integration, except if it is a way to have answers to ignored "Contact us" questions.

I would be more interested in pushing what I watched than what I bought, especially if reviews get pushed with it.

The option to push a "Watched" event to Facebook with optional review.  It makes sense to publish immediately.

It's really a can of worms isn't it?  They took away the old app tabs, so you can't show recent purchases on your profile anymore.  All you have are wall posts.

I see two categories (assuming of course you've linked DVD Profiler to Facebook Connect in the desktop/mobile app):

Always publish Once you've turned this on, don't ask permission again
Publish by request When action is taken, provide a checkbox to publish (can default to last value)

Watched events  Always publish
Review Always publish
Add to collection Publish by request (via Personalize DVD dialog, per title)

I would stay away from events for loans.  Uncle Bob probably wouldn't want you spilling the beans about loaning him your copy Twilight: Eclipse.

Somehow you have to take "adult" genre/rated titles into consideration.  Even though you want to publish all your watches / reviews, I'm guessing when you watch your favorite porn title you won't want to publish that anywhere.  In fact you might consider not even allowing it (unless people cry censorship?).

With the number of users here who purchase boat loads of titles, I can't imagine they will want to tell the world about EVERY purchase they make.

I agree it would be nice to see the profile image of the title that was published, if that's legal to do of course.

Of course if you add Facebook Connect support, you might as well also add Twitter support.

And on the online collection (or in "My Profiler") there should be a place to publish a link to your Online Collection to both Facebook and Twitter.  Getting the word out about your collection should be integrated.

I'd like to have DVD Profiler and Facebook completely separated.

Same here, because I'm not a friend of this "social network"-mania and I don't participate in them.

But alot of users will like this kind of feature, so as long as it is strictly optional, I don't mind. 

EDIT: And I hope there are features planned for the next version that are more exciting... 

I'm fine as long as it's all optional.  While I do use Facebook and Twitter, I have no desire to announce to the world what I've purchase or watched.  None of my friends would care all that much I suspect.

I would like a way to chose what is published.

I have several DVD friends that are as much of movie geeks as I am.

I have been using the trader link and upc to post to FB so far.

Actually just started doing it so there are only 6-7 post about the dvd's I have been watching or maybe buying.

But it would be kinda cool to get that integration.

I'd like everything optional. I like JAFO's suggestions, as long as for each item can be personalized between always post and request each time. For me, I know I'd only publish every once in a while, but others may want it all the time. I know I have very different tastes than most of my friends and family and wouldn't want them seeing I watched...oh, let's say any of my Disney movies (I wouldn't hear the end of it from some people). But others that I would recommend I'd want to publish.
