Were it not for Facebook's ability to sync events with my phone, I would probably not use it more than once or twice a month.  I don't have Netflix, but if I ever get it, it will be because I can stream the video via my PS3 to my television.  I'm not interested in watching movies on my desktop PC, awesome tho it might be.

Seriously? Tank? While 5% is nothing to sneeze at, and Netflix has to keep an eye on anything that causes a 5% drop and think about a response, a 5% drop is hardly "tanking". They make it sound like Netflix is about to consider chapter 11.

I, for one, use Facebook only occasionally, and only to communicate with some friends and family. I don't play games there, or use any of the ridiculous apps. In fact, I get a little giddy whenever I see a new post on my newsfeed from an app because I just love blocking apps. THAT has become a bit of a game for me, finding new apps to block. So, no, I will never rent any movie on Facebook. In fact, I doubt I will ever rent another movie again, beyond my subscription to Netflix.

Yeah, and then Facebook will tell all my friends that I'm watching this movie or something stupid. This is a great feature for teenagers who others who care a lot about their social image, but outside the target market, we just don't care. For someone who doesn't spend all their time on Facebook, watching a movie on Facebook is one extra step instead of one less. It's quicker for the rest of us to just load up NetFlix.
