Netflix should not eliminate profiles

Netflix recently announced that they would be eliminating user profiles

User profiles enabled multiple members of a household to maintain separate queues and recommendations. It’s a super useful feature and I can’t understand why they would get rid of it.



Netflix should have a standalone player for on-demand movies to alleviate the dead weight of Internet Explorer

Thought I should add this bit of news to the discussion. Netflix and Razorfish put together a prototype using Microsoft’s Silverlight cross-platform technology. You can watch a demonstration of it (on both Windows and Mac) over on the MIX blog.



Netflix should not use ASINs for their movies

There’s no need to add amazon id numbers, UPC codes are good enough if even necessary.



Netflix should make a Windows Media Center plug-in

Examples:
- MyNetflix
- vmcNetFlix
