ALGOWRONG

I love Netflix but there is nothing more ludicrous than their 'recommendations' algorithm. The one based on one's previous choice as well as thousands of others who liked the same film the same amount.

Sometimes it is laughable.

I guess that they think so too.

And if You Liked the Movie, a Netflix Contest May Reward You Handsomely

I think that the big news here is that they are using their huge data base as an incentive and basis for the research. They are not kidding.

Of course, I have very definite ideas about what I want and do not want to see.

New films keep coming out which add to the list (though not as many as I would like).

My queue is booked up until 2008 and I plan many 'director fests' which interest me very much. So I won't be using and reco-engine any time soon.
