Earlier this year I wrote about the concept of approaching site design based on the household rather than the individual. The idea was basically that as family start using web services like Netflix, Flickr, and BookMooch, it'd be nice to have a single master account that various family members could then branch off of. Upload photos to Flickr once, for example, and you'd have them accessible for any family member to use without re-uploading.
Turns out, I completely missed that Netflix added this ability a while ago.
Duh.
Netflix has a slick feature that allows the main account holder to add various queues and assign them to specific users. Of the 3 discs you can have out at once, you can assign some or all of them to the other queues.
The coolest part is that ratings from one queue only affect the recommendations specific to that queue. So your wife can rate dramas high and you can rate actions high and nowhere shall the two intersect.
So turns out, I'm brilliant. Just slow. Really really slow.
