The Internet Movie Database, or IMDb, is an international organization whose objective is to provide useful and up to date movie information freely available on-line, across as many systems and platforms as possible. It currently covers over 2,000,000 filmography entries, covering over 500,000 people and is expanding continuously. There are details on just about everyone you have ever heard of (as well as tens of thousands of others you probably haven't).
Priceline is a buying service that lets consumers name their price. Post your request 24 hours a day and guarantee the offer with a major credit card. Priceline then goes about finding a seller who decides whether or not to fill the request. With priceline, there is no auction, no bidding and no back and forth. Consumers simply name their price and let priceline find a seller. It's simple, yet powerful.
