Wanted: better Netflix-blog integration

Christian Crumlish

So I just returned Coffee and Cigarettes and Netflix invites me to give it some stars and maybe review it for my Netflix friends. I guess I can bother to improve their data and their ability to recommend things for me and my friends (not that I've ever yet relied on their recommendations), but it sure would be nice if they gave me an easy way to post my rating and review to my blog as well, sort of like the way Flickr lets me post pictures. Sure, I can plug in a badge with my Netflix queue in it. I do that on my personal blog, but I'd like better integration, please.

You're not the only one who wants this. Don't forget, the very first plugin Ben Trott ever made for Movable Type was a Netflix list.

Finding a better metaphor: I think Annalee Newitz is onto a better frame for blogging than the tired old media-pundit sliver in her Techsploitation column in the SF Bay Guardian: reality TV. It seems in many ways as if our entire media culture is devoted to broadcasting ephemera. Blogs, like reality TV, record the minutiae... (Weblog Concepts)

Imminent death of blogging predicted -Film at 11: Written in the mode of a jaded Internet old-timer (how weak is that?), a New York Press Media & Politics item points out the deep irrelevance of weblogs, noting that they are "a circle jerk" and that the best bloggers long to be media columnists like ol' no-signature who penned the...

Microsoft, Apple blog plans?: The Blog Herald reads about a panel at the upcoming Microsoft PDC conference and predicts that MS will roll out a blogging tool as part of MSN or SharePoint. SharePoint 2003 includes a "Web Log" web package for including a blog-like element in a SharePoint collaborative website, but it's only semibakes... (Products)
Substantial blogging at Edwards site: Mike Kasper from EdwardsforPrez.com (an unofficial Edwards-supporter site) followed up my comment from a few days ago about John Edwards writing some of his own blog entries. I compared his first efforts to cat-blogging, in the sense of journal- or diaristic entries. I actually think that's a good place to start... (Politics)

Still working on a search form: Well, here's the thing: To limit custom Google searches to just content from the root of this specific blog, I need to pass the string inurl:0001111 (that's my Radio usernum) to the form handler on the Google end. I think I need to go back to web forms school, because I'm... (Weblog Concepts)
Searching subdomains with a Google search box: Aha! I asked the question about non-root level addresses in the Google search box code in the comments on John Robb's blog and Brian Buck supplied part of the answer: site:blogs.salon.com inurl:0001111 rss This will do a search on Radio Free Blogistan for the keyword rss. P.S.: The google search operators... (Weblog Concepts)
News aggregator problems with forms: Since Jrobb and dws and others have posted their form code, the strange decoding, unencoding, recoding behaviors of the Radio RSS Aggregator appear to have rendered my Delete button inoperable. Or is this just me?... ()
Add a Google search box to any site?: John Robb posts the code for adding a Google search widget to your blog (or any site, really). However, as I read it, it seems to work with entire domains (for example, jrobb.userland.com).
