The process is not yet optimized. You need to create a list first, then are able to add people on that list. Reading that someone stumbled over it makes it a top priority for me new. Give me a couple of days to fix it!

Watchlists are lists for movies, tv shows, seasons and episodes. Keep lists for movies you want to watch, movies that are oscar contenders, best movies of the 80s...anything is possible. In the future you can filter the contents for movies, you haven't seen yet. And follow other user's watchlists and be notified, when they add content.

Skribelists are the relevant lists for following people (skribe => to subscribe). Add people you want to follow and be notified of, when new releases are announced.

And another cool thing: for each list you can display a collection of all movies / shows the people on your list worked on / appeared in. And it even shows, if more than one of your subscribed people worked on that movie. I think that's great to discover movies you missed, where 2 or more of your favorite actors appear in.

Btw, may I invite you to follow us on Twitter? It's easier to give updates about changes, added features and fixed bugs. And one more follower is one more person to help spread the word ;-)
