Netflix Unveils New Way to Share Streaming Recommendations

Until now, Netflix subscribers linking the service to their Facebook accounts automatically disclosed everything they were watching with a potentially wide-reaching range of people. The company believes the open-ended approach discouraged most Netflix subscribers from connecting their accounts with their Facebook profiles. The automatic disclosures will end Tuesday as Netflix embraces a new system that empowers subscribers to select which friends will receive their video recommendations. A menu of friends culled from Facebook will appear after Netflix subscribers finish watching a video, if they have turned on the sharing feature. – Michael Liedtke,Associated Press via Yahoo Tech http://ift.tt/W74I0T
