Netflix Adds Social Features to Rental Site
Netflix is locked in what looks to be a death struggle with Blockbuster for online rental supremacy. The online video rental service expanded its community features with a slew of new goodies, which are designed so that your movie queue never runs dry.A new "Community" tab houses the new features, most notable of which is a list that scrolls through reviews from other members as soon as they're posted. From here, you can snoop on what your friends have been watching, view top-10 lists of films by random people, find people with similar interests as yours, and even answer questions in oddball "Friend Quizzes" that task you with guessing what your friends thought of a given movie.
All this works to make the Netflix site a place where you could realistically spend even more time than you do watching the movies themselves, assuming your office network administrator hasn't seen fit to block the site. But, we know how to get around that, now, don't we?
