Hey SideReelers!

Hurrah! SideReel is getting more social! New enhanced social features are in the works, but in the meantime, the SideReel Team wants to give you a heads-up about what to expect.

For those of you who use Facebook Connect to log into your SideReel account, you’ve likely noticed that Facebook is asking for you to update your permissions in order to log into your account.

We at SideReel want you to know that nothing has changed on our end, and you still have 100% control of what SideReel posts on your behalf. Facebook has updated the way they do permissions, which requires you to accept them once again in order to log in, but your SideReel activity will still only be posted if you actively choose to publish it. This includes sharing your tracked shows and watched episodes on your news feed, timeline, or your friends’ timelines.

Before any of SideReel’s new social features go live, you’ll be presented with plenty of new privacy controls. Be assured that you will always have complete control of what you share on SideReel and on Facebook, and you’ll be able to customize the way you share your TV addiction with your friends.

We welcome your feedback, so please drop us a line in the comments or at info@sidereel.com for any further questions or concerns!

The SideReel blog is back in action! Apologies for our absence.
