href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TrPwOrf4sM">parody documentary video on YouTube</a> about the &#8220;Blockbuster Video Living Museum,&#8221; as if brick-and-mortar video stores were a thing of the distant past, a quaint relic to be remembered. Video rental shops aren&#8217;t quite dead yet, but <a
href="http://www.gizmolovers.com/category/netflix/">Netflix</a> and <a
href="http://www.gizmolovers.com/2008/05/16/this-weekends-amazon-unbox-sale-19/">Amazon Unbox</a> are each having a go, in their own respective ways, of making such retail outlets obsolete.</p><p>One new edge for Netflix, which prides itself on giving customers plenty of information about their movie-watching habits, comes from a third-party developer. <a
href="http://feedflix.com/">FeedFlix</a> is a clever new service that takes the readily available information Netflix provides in <a
href="http://www.netflix.com/RSSFeeds">personalized RSS feeds</a> (your feeds will appear if you&#8217;re <a
href="http://www.netflix.com/Login">logged into your Netflix account</a>) and displays that info in more digestible format.</p><p><a

src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3224/2500379073_82e8498c27.jpg" width="500" height="171" alt="FeedFlix" /></a></p><p>How fast do you watch and return your videos? Are you one of those Netflix dream customers that pays month after month, hardly ever watching and returning a disc? FeedFlix will tell you how long you&#8217;ve had each disc out, what you&#8217;ve recently returned, and what&#8217;s coming up soon in your queue. None of this is info you couldn&#8217;t figure out yourself with Netflix&#8217;s tools, but FeedFlix provides a convenient summary.</p><p>Beyond the personalized report, FeedFlix offers a public link that allows you to show others what&#8217;s in your queue and what Netflix recommends for you. These links reveal nothing about your identity, unless you post the links in a way that identifies you.</p><p>As more and more people join FeedFlix, the service has been able to generate fun aggregated info such as <a
href="http://feedflix.com/netflix_average_rental_length">average rental length</a> and <a
href="http://feedflix.com/netflix_shipping">shipments by weekday.</a> (Not surprisingly, about a third of all shipments go out on Tuesday &#8212; replacing videos mailed back Monday after the weekend. Thursday&#8217;s the day Netflix ships the fewest videos out.)</p><p>Whether you use <a
href="http://feedflix.com/">FeedFlix</a> to see if you&#8217;re making the most of your Netflix subscription, or just as a fun diversion, it&#8217;s worth trying out.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.gizmolovers.com/2008/05/18/share-your-netflix-stats-with-feedflix/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
