今天，國際電影數據庫（IMDB）十八歲了！

在這個網站的成人禮前期，IMDB斷斷續續地在首頁上呈現過“視頻”特色服務的內容，如今，這個功能已經正式推出，IMDB的計劃是將所有擁有版權的影視資料統統上線，讓影迷和專業人士在IMDB這個平臺上分享。

【慶生致辭】今天，IMDB的創始人Col Needham在網站上寫下了慶生致辭，他也再次重申IMDB的核心價值：保持用戶對影視資料數據的貢獻特色，分享影視帶來的熱情。

A Birthday Welcome and Thank You:

Today, Friday, 17 October 2008, the IMDb turns 18.

You might wonder how it is possible for IMDb to be 18 since the first web browser wasn't really available until 1991. On this day in 1990 I published a series of scripts which made lists of credits (collected by a wonderful USENET group called "rec.arts.movies") searchable. Though the naming was still four years off, the IMDb was, in essence, born. Below this open letter is a bit more history about the site, for those interested.

Suffice it to say, however, that since that time IMDb has become more than a list of searchable credits. On top of this bedrock of data we've recently added 6,000 full-length feature films and TV episodes which our users can watch for free. We have launched NewsDesk, (which allows news partners to add their news feeds to our site), individual pages for characters, wiki-based plot synopses, FAQs, parental guides, and many, many more features. We now enjoy the patronage of over 57 million movie and TV lovers each month.

Meanwhile our IMDb Pro service continues to help industry professionals make better business and creative decisions with our recent addition of FilmFinders, while we help filmmakers and festivals promote and distribute their work with WithoutaBox.

But the heart and soul of IMDb remains the users and contributors who keep us on our toes and keep the data coming. We share your passion as we share this anniversary celebration with you.

Our great thanks,

Col Needham

【3年際遇】我于2005年10月4日注冊登入IMDb，算來不過短短三年。

我從2006年開始嘗試為IMDB更新資料庫，逐漸發現這個database的確很好很科學，但華語影視收錄不夠詳盡，於是，2008年我開始瘋狂update我關注的華語影視，如果你也感興趣，歡迎隨我一道。

【請幫忙補充】我已經起了頭，歡迎跟進補充你知道的關於它們的“plot summary” “awards” “Original Air Date”......
