Social Networking on Netflix
In about a month you’ll be able to take a peek at what kinds of DVDs your friends have been watching. Netflix has announced that they will be adding a social networking feature to their service. This will work like Friendster and other social networking sites where you invite friends into your personal network. Once you invite a friend into your network, you’ll both get to see what each other have watched, along with opinions and reviews about the DVD.
If this works it should help differentiate Netflix's service from other competitors like Amazon, Blockbuster Entertainment and Wal-Mart. The company has been under attack ever since they all introduced their own DVD Rental Services.
