Qflip is an interesting service that uses Netflix’s open API to help subscribers make movie choices. What I like about this service:
- It’s quick and easy
- It provides value to my Netflix membership
- It’s fun in that it has an element of surprise and randomness
- It’s based on people, not algorithms
The only thing that could be better is that it has me type in the type of movie I want to see, for which I said one that would provide “unexpected laughter”, but then doesn’t take that into account when selecting the five movies for others to vote on.
One way they could make this service better is by having me narrow my movie choice by genre (i.e. comedy) and then ask me what I’m looking for (in this case “unexpected laughter). This would then make the choices to vote on much more obvious and intuitive.
Anyhoo, click on the picture above and pick a movie for me to watch.
