How long has Netflix been doing this for?

by Kyle on May 9, 2005

I was browsing my ridiculously overpacked Netflix queue tonight, when I noticed something I hadn’t seen before; when I rolled over any movie in the queue, a little DHTML window opened (took a sec to load) with more info on the movie, and usually some cover art as well:

Up and down the page, for any movie you mouseover and hover on for a half sec or so, you’ll see a description and pretty cover art:

All in all, I’m sure some load-time fanatics won’t like it, I dig it.  Anything that adds some additional page interactivity, without requiring loading a whole new page is cool by me.
