BorrowMyFlix.com - Free Flix from Friends and Family

Renting movies has never been easier than now. Thanks to businesses like Netflix and Blockbuster, you don’t even have to leave your home to get movies. Simply login online, order, and wait. The furthest you’ll have to go is the mailbox. What if you didn’t have to pay at all for movies? What if you just rented them, so to speak, from your friends and family? This is the idea behind GetMyFlix, a sort of social network for finding DVD’s from friends and family. To use, sign up, list your library of flix and invite everyone you know in your zip code, and start sharing. Movies are easily searchable by title, genre, and keyword. It’s free to use too, and there’s no late fees (if your friends are nice).

“Most of the DVD's you look to rent from popular sites like NetFlix and Blockbuster are probably sitting in someone's house that you know collecting dust just waiting to be watched by someone like you. Get together with Friends and Family and share the DVD's that you own and in 3 easy steps.”

GetMyFlix is a great idea for people who want to save money as well as connect with friends and family or make new friends.

Will this work? Will they reach the critical mass they need so that people can swap divides in the same zip code? Or will users prefer the selection of competitors like Netflix?
