I have to agree with SuperScuba. I used to post reviews. But now after watching a good movie I'll go to the movie page to find dozens if not hundreds of reviews, and I don't really feel inspired to add to that, so my personal reviewing days are pretty much over. The only thing I might review are the small indie films.

Netflix Removing Avatars, Nicknames & Bios for Reviews
Netflix announced that they are removing avatars, nicknames & bios from reviews. We’re removing avatars, nicknames and bios associated with reviews, as very few Netflix members use them. We’re constantly working to improve the Netflix experience, and by removing these little-used features we ar...
My comics.com list on gocomics has terrible email and has a lot of comics that weren't in my c.com list. but I've found I can go on line and read the ones that don't show up (not happy about that, but it's a solution). I've been moving the comics.com ones I want to keep to my existing go list, and that's been working well enough (except for today of course, when I got no comics emails - new or old..).
sigh

GoComics and Comics.com to Combine Forces
The biggest thing to happen to comics since Silly Putty is coming on June 1. The two largest comic strip, editorial cartoon and comic panel sites are merging forces to create one massive comic destination under the url GoComics.com. This means you can get your daily comic fix and interact with...
Half of my comics.com strips are neither in my email or on line :(

Well, first email from gocomics this morning - didn't include all my comics. some not in color. duplicates of some and missing others (has a title but no comic panel - as opposed to not being there at all)
Let's hope they do a bit of a better job tomorrow. sigh. thanks to comics.com for continuing the emails for a bit so I can see all my comics.

I live at the 400 limit. Between series and recommendations and surfing for 'other movies this actor is in' you hit the limit pretty quick. Now if I could watch that fast :)

Have You Hit the Netflix 500 Title Queue Limit?
Traye writes to complain "...that you can only have 500 titles in your instant queue. This includes titles that aren't even available for streaming right now. Its really impossible for a person to keep a running library of currently and past titles that come in and out of streaming availability ...
Not a fan. The add buttons on the far right look really out of place - back near the picture was nicer. kind if annoying the description is hidden when you watch the trailer.
The whole page looks forced. weird description, but it looks like they were given blocks of information and just shuffled them around the page until they all fit.
Speaking of fit - does anyone still have a 12 inch computer monitor at home? Why is the netflix page still in this skinny section in the middle of the screen? I have acres of extra real estate.
If you have itunes, take a look at those movie pages. scalable to screen size. less important things are smaller. data jsut looks cleaner.

What Do You Think of the New Netflix Movie Information Pages?
Netflix updated the movie and TV show information pages with a new, cleaner design. Friends are gone, the movie or TV show image is bigger, the "Play," "Add" and other buttons are now on the right, and a history box tells you when you watched or rented the title. What do you think of the new lo...
SO the DVD market is collapsing in favor of rentals and streaming - so they try to hinder rental and streaming and pretend sale of DVDs will stay high forever. Did these guys steal their gameplan from the CD industry??
