I think what works for people in the US will be different for everyone else - for instance, virtually every "music discovery service" out there today is blocked for anyone without a US IP address. So all those services are out. I hadn't thought of movies and TV shows, but now that I think about it I have discovered a fair number of new artists that way (Sia, Marie Digby, etc.).

The model is definitely changing, but it needs to be more world-wide focused.
