      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>A few months back <a href="http://www.capturetheconversation.com/search/Stepan%20Mazurov" target="_blank">Stepan</a> showed me interesting new service called <a href="http://feedflix.com/" target="_blank">FeedFlix</a>. It uses the power of RSS to parse data out of Netflix RSS feeds in order to aggregate and show you some of your basic <a href="http://feedflix.com/bc-1385318" target="_blank">Netflix user stats.</a> For example I hold onto a movie for an average of 11 days before returning it, average .875 DVD returns each week and 2.33 DVD returns each month. I have been seriously slacking on my Netflix watching recently! In fact according to FeedFlix I am spending $6.08 per movie at this rate&hellip; not so hot.</p>
<p><img title="stats" src="http://www.room214.com/blogimg/feedflix.gif" alt="stats" width="500" height="301" /><br /><br />As of now, FeedFlix is still pretty basic in terms of social networking, but it really opened my eyes to fact that Netfix actually had personal and public RSS feeds.<!--more--> They are buried way down in the footer navigation of Netflix.com, which is not surprising as I would imagine the majority of users have yet to adopt the use of an <a href="http://www.google.com/reader">RSS reader</a>. <br />There are a variety of personal feeds such as Recommendations and Queue in addition to public feeds (new releases, top 25). Adding these feeds to my reader has really saved a bunch of time and streamlined my Netflix usage. I can quickly check out some recommendations and new releases and only if I see something I like do I need to go to Netflix.com. Hopefully this will increase/improve my movie watching make the most of my Netflix subscription. <br /><br />It is great to see Netflix using RSS and it would be cool if they would highlight this feature more prominently. Perhaps similar to the recommendation engine challenge, they can have a RSS integration challenge to incorporate and explain their RSS technology and get more people using it.</p><br/><div style="clear:both"></div><a href="http://www.capturetheconversation.com/tag/netflix">netflix</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/netflix"><img src="http://www.capturetheconversation.com/template/ctc/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.capturetheconversation.com/tag/netflix.rss"><img src="http://www.capturetheconversation.com/template/ctc/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.capturetheconversation.com/tag/feedflix">feedflix</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/feedflix"><img src="http://www.capturetheconversation.com/template/ctc/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.capturetheconversation.com/tag/feedflix.rss"><img src="http://www.capturetheconversation.com/template/ctc/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.capturetheconversation.com/tag/rss">rss</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/rss"><img src="http://www.capturetheconversation.com/template/ctc/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.capturetheconversation.com/tag/rss.rss"><img src="http://www.capturetheconversation.com/template/ctc/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.capturetheconversation.com/tag/google reader">google reader</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/google reader"><img src="http://www.capturetheconversation.com/template/ctc/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.capturetheconversation.com/tag/google reader.rss"><img src="http://www.capturetheconversation.com/template/ctc/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a> ]]></content:encoded>
