I wish these wankers would have an exportable list of the movies in “your queue”. Netflix has the ability to have 500 movies listed in the queue for your renting history. I decided to write a letter to them hoping it won’t fall on deaf ears.

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.

I have been using NetFlix since February and for the money, I can honestly say its worth it. If you rent a lot of movies - You’ll save money. Even at the slowest point you can still get 3 DVD’s a week at $21.95/month. If you were to rent 3 DVD’s a week from blockbuster and return them on time - that’s $47.88/month. Now if you are like me and freaking turn almost every movie in late it averages out to $100/month bucks with late fees. Now, when it comes to Netflix, generally I can squeeze SIX DVD’s a week out of them because Austin happens to have a distribution hub and I really do get next day delivery of almost all their DVD’s. If I was to rent from Blockbuster without paying late fees - $95.76.

How the hell do I watch 6 movies a week? The answer is, I don’t. Half the time I am only able to “archive them” and watch them at a later time.
