Netflix – improved recommendation system (?)

Netflix recently launched the NetFlixPrize contest, where Netflix is looking to improve the recommedation system CineMatch they currently use to recommend movies to a returning customer based on his/her previous movie choices.

I say, its all good, as l-o-n-g  a-s  y-o-u  c-a-n  f-i-x the registration form issue.

I saw someone trying to fill out the form like 6 times, and it kept complaining about the ‘wrong confirmation text’ to the poor soul. On looking closer I could see that the confirmation text being entered was exactly the same as presented in the image. But still, no good!

Netfilx might first need to improve a basic web form, and then go after the Cinematch :)
