Yidio is a new service that provides you with TV and Movies online but with a huge social element.
Services that provide online content are not new, for example Hulu, but the thing that makes Yidio different is the social network part. You can share your viewing recommendations with people on Facebook and Twitter, and even have suggestions made based on your interactions with others.
