Comments on: 9 Simple Ways (That Have Nothing To Do With VOD) To Fix Netflix http://kylebunch.com/vintage/2007/02/9-simple-ways-that-have-nothing-to-do-with-vod-to-fix-netflix/ The 2003-2007 Collection Tue, 02 Dec 2008 15:50:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: happy yb http://kylebunch.com/vintage/2007/02/9-simple-ways-that-have-nothing-to-do-with-vod-to-fix-netflix/#comment-211 happy yb Tue, 29 Apr 2008 18:55:33 +0000 http://www.kylebunch.org/blog/2007/02/9-simple-ways-that-have-nothing-to-do-with-vod-to-fix-netflix/#comment-211 Okay, so i like this post, and came upon it rather accidentally. I have somehow become engaged in a prizeless and silly, but fun contest to have a better reviewer ranking than my coworker with whom I am currently tied at 619,584. So I am soliciting new Netflix friends to check out my movies as I have decidedly become more ruthless about this endeavor than he expects. Would you consider adding me to your Netflix friends?

It should really be a movie portal website as well (perhaps like IMDB), not just a rental site. I agree with #8a….helping us find movies in the theatres would make us visit the site even more.

Circa 2007, you couldn't be more wrong. You can make the same statement (about the potentially-damaging effects of "shills") about Digg, Wikipedia, Amazon product pages, IMdB's message boards, blog comments, and about 2/3 of sites on the Web today. And yet, last I looked, all of them continued to exist and provide credible information, even with those dreaded "shills." The simple fact is, the features that I proposed are already on IMDB, Amazon, and elsewhere. And as a result, myself and millions of other movie fans are diving into discussions about movies AWAY from Netflix. = Not Good for Netflix. There are any number of ways to combat the trolls of the world -- refusing to build out additional community features because of the threat of spammy comments (that can be worked around with user-filters and tools that let people vote on quality of comments) is plain and simple NOT an option.

They could let non-subscribers read the reviews but they shouldn't allow them to write reviews.

Although I'd say, some better navigation, to let me actually browse a list of movies, rather than click thru trailers one-by-one, would be a welcome addition to this newish feature. Walter–
