Thanks for the link Becky! Regarding pylorns comment above, I did e-mail Netflix awhile ago asking them to make various data (like queues and history) available as RSS or some other XML format so programmers could easily incorporate such data in other sites, but I never heard back. Ended up having to go with the screen-scraping approach for what Listology does.
I know you should be well aware of the online craze that has become Blogger (http://www.blogger.com) that is now owned by Google.
I would like to make a request to have an exportable version of the movie "queue" in xml or php that can be tied in with say a side bar for many of the online weblogs.
Many companies underestimate the ability of these personal weblogs to have an impact on sales or advertising and promotions. But time and time again, major news companies like CNN /FOX/CBS have pointed out that this new craze is holding steady and has the ability to sway large numbers of visitors. For Netflix to not take advantage of it, would be a mistake.
Thank you Pylorns! Maybe they will get together with Blogger to make such a thing available, eh? Or some intrepid blogger will design a template to make it possible.
Someone needs to get with them and develop a webtool that exports the list to the front page of a persons blog.

ReplyDeletehmm. Well I think it goes like this - if enough people email them and pester them.. things might happen.
