I wonder why Netflix doesn't match users with similar movie preferences. Perhaps is a legal restriction.

- warmwaffles 14y agoRight but if you were matched against other anonymous users with similar likes, it would be legal
- icefox 14y agoIn their recent blog entry they say that it is, but in other countries you can sync up with your friends. In the US you can share rss feeds of what you have watched and me and my friends use that.
- smokey_the_bear 14y agoNetflix used to have friends features in the US too, you could see what they'd watched, and take quizzes where you guessed what movies they liked. It was pretty fun.
