the problem is not that you are not finding what to watch. The real problem is that there is NOTHING LEFT to watch.
their inventory sucks. Yeah, they have a couple movies, but chances are you've seen them all already.
Netflix is not a blockbuster/torrent/movie theater replacement. It is a TV replacement.
It works for people that sit down, select from the few series they are following, and press play.
It may work as a movie provider for the first 2 months, until you get to the point mentioned above; you've seen them all.
Many people (me included) aren't willing to spend sufficient mental energy on a decision based on what's available when we want to be entertained.
A related problem is that Netflix does a bad job of managing expectations, but we're working on that with tinj.
Give us a few years and we'll get to trousers too.
This seems worse than Flash websites, what are the advantages for developers or users? They are built using web technologies anyway, why restrict your audience?
Don't worry, this is just the start. Big things have small beginnings.
I wish I could pick 5 or 6 television series, group them together, and just hit 'play random.' Netflix then randomly selects an episode from one of the series, then plays it!
Why can't one of these services just give us our own legit pseudo-channel? (Hulu???) BTW, you can sort-of do this with a combination of XBMC, a few plugins (mainly pseudoTV), Couchpotato, Sickbeard and a good tracker, but it is way too much of a headache to setup and maintain.
I'd be happy with just a "watch random shows from this tv category".
the problem is finding anything worth of moving to your list.
Although I really only watch on my TV and not my computer, I like the concept and it seems well implemented. Cracking the nut of figuring out what to watch is a tough one, that's for sure. Good luck!
Lots of opportunity in the space, decided to build a chrome extension because Netflix doesn't allow new API access anymore...
I really think some sort of 'channel' on Netflix where movies just play and you can tune in would catch on. Something about knowing other people are out there watching the same thing..
Lot's more cool stuff planned and feedback welcome!
