But rather than get too detailed, I'll just paste the text I entered into the "other comments" field on Blippr.com's "delete your account" page. Check it out:
I'm VERY upset that by connecting this account to my Netflix account, your site assumes I want to import everything on my queue, both present and past, and (I assume) share it with everyone. NOT COOL. All I wanted was a service that would allow me to share my feelings on certain media with friends on Twitter. I don't need to alert the world that I'm watching porn or pilates or anything else UNLESS I WANT TO.
What's extra nice is that even after I disconnect Netflix from my Blippr account, the content that was imported DOESN'T GO AWAY, which means, I must delete my Blippr.com profile. Good one, guys!
Plus your interface is confusing--I couldn't work out where the hell my "blips" are listed and don't know how I came to see "blips" from some dude called "JC" who apparently really liked "Funny People" which happens to be a film I NEVER WANT TO SEE EVER.
My experience on Blippr has been overwhelmingly negative and I will be honest if anyone ever asks me about your site.
Also: When I "blip" something, I think of Blip.FM. You guys should really come up with another made-up verb to describe the act of posting something on this site.
All right... I'm done.
Gah. I don't blame @krownz for this, since he's perfectly happy with the site. I'm a Twitter addict, though. I like simple, basic, easy, low-maintenance. Ideally, I'd love to see Netflix add a simple "Tweet this" link or a "share this" button that allows users to post a link to a DVD on Netflix in their Twitterstream, or Facebook profile or where ever else. I don't need a whole third-party site for managing my media recommendations since I really don't recommend stuff that much and when I do, I post on my old fashioned blog.
Ah well.
