I read this article from the New York Times that explains now Warner Brothers is "testing" movie rentals to users of Facebook. Using virtual credits, FB users can rent a movie (right now the only one available is "The Dark Knight") and stream it onto their computers. Credits can be bought at major retailers such as Wal-Mart and Best Buy and have been in use since FarmVille hit the social network site.
So will this put an end to Netflix? I sure hope not because no matter how convenient it may be to download a rented movie on my Facebook account, I really enjoy the feedback and suggested movie rentals that I get from Netflix. But who knows...
