| Twitter employee creates Netflix notification feature to notify users of expiring Instant Movies Posted: 16 Feb 2011 08:23 PM PST
Robin Sloan who works on Twitter’s media partnerships created a Netflix/Twitter mashup to notify users of expiring Instant Netflix users.Sloan, an avid Netflix user, knew that the service would add and retire movies from its Watch Instantly service every day, so he set about creating a service called QueueNoodle that would utilize Netflix's publicly available API to warn Twitter users of which movies were about to expire ahead of time.This way users will get a notification in advance of the movies which would be expiring soon.
Netflix customers who enjoying the odd tweet can now follow the @queuenoodle account and have each expiring movie delivered to them as soon as it is marked by Netflix. The account within no time has close to 4000 followers and is sure to rise as word spreads about the service.in future Netflix could do with rolling out a similar service or speaking to Sloan to see if it could become an official Netflix offering.
