Sadly, this marks the end of an era for me with Netflix. After an initial 'meh' experience with the DVD rental service when they first debuted, one of the things that really got my attention with them was their developer contest to create a better suggestion service. But it seems that working with the developer community now is a thing of the past for them. Sadly, I foresee more companies going that way.

Wbat is funny is that put up that bounty. It took a years to get a hit and then it got a crazy. What is also funny is before they killed that program, they actually implemented any of the techniques from people that won those contests.
