As you are all aware I have been hard at work on the new My Netflix 2.0 version. I have had several 're-starts' on the plugin due to changes with the Netlix API as well as numerious other reasons. Unfortunately I have scrapped more code than used, but I have finally come up with a great new model.
As I outlined in another thread I have created a website myReelTalk.com that allows Netflix users to share experience with other movie lovers on Facebook, Twitter and Google+. Although social networking is a part of the site, it is not necessary and you will find many of the same features on the site as you will in the plugin. This website uses a development model that can be replicated directly to the My Netflix 2.0 plugin with little or no modifications. This is a quick rundonw of some of the features on the site:
Many of these features will also be available in the new 2.0 plugin and will pull from/use the same database. Since everything is local to one database the plugin will be MUCH faster than in the current state.
ALL this to say, I need some Beta testers for the web site. Some that will use the social networking and/or others that dont. I have already pinged a few of the Beta testers that signed up before, but I would like to get a larger group involved. If you are interested please PM me and I will send you the URL to the registration page (currently the registration button is disabled.) All those that are in the website Beta will automatically be included in the plugin Beta when it comes available (hopefully by the end of the month.)
Thanks again for all the support!

- Add alerts to be notified when a movie in your Watch List becomes available
- Add alerts to be notified when a favorite actor is in an upcoming release
- On and on....
Many of these features will also be available in the new 2.0 plugin and will pull from/use the same database. Since everything is local to one database the plugin will be MUCH faster than in the current state.
