Netflix plan to give you no free time!

2nd March 2017/in Entertainment, Film /TV/by billywright

Soon there will be no other time but Netflix time.

It was only 5 years ago that Netflix launched it’s very first original series, Lilyhammer. Now Netflix boasts a ton of original content on it’s service. From shows, to movies to documentaries and comedy specials, Netflix has a back catalogue of a lot of original content. Netflix plan to deliver more than 1,000 hours worth of content in 2017 up from 600 hours last year.

 

How do they plan on giving you no time at all? Well by making it’s users accounts tailored to them, highlighting to them what they may enjoy based on what they have previously watched. Be that having something on as background noise when you’re working on something else, things that make you think or escape.

Netflix knows that you aren’t going to be spending too much time traipsing through their catalogue so they want to bring their content right infront of your eyes, so to speak. Netflix VP of Product Todd Yellin Explains:

“By the time they get to Netflix, we don’t want them to have to look through thousands of pieces of content and make a hard decision….We know the typical Netflix user is only going to look through 40 or 50 titles.”

Highlighting that Netflix aren’t going for a one show fits all model but rather spread to programming to fit everyone’s tastes.

This model has been heavily praised by many of the creators who have already worked with Netflix, it’s a model which drew Charlize Theron when trying to sell Girlboss as a television series. The amount of creative freedom while working with Netflix is what’s so appealing when compared to working on other projects.

Lego Batman

23rd February 2017/in Entertainment, Film /TV/by billywright

 

There are big changes brewing in Gotham City, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.

Bruce Wayne must not only deal with the criminals of Gotham City, but also the responsibility of raising a boy he adopted. (IMDB)

Hotline Dating

18th February 2017/in Apps, Entertainment/by billywright

There’s a new dating app that not only focuses on calling somebody, it is mandatory before any other communication with a potential match is allowed !

It’s called Hotline and it requires you to have a 5minute call with somebody using the in-app VOIP service. It can be quite scary if you’re shy, but the idea of this is, is to find out if the person you’re chatting with is a real person for one and, if they are as interesting as their profile says that they are!

Also included on the app is videos on your profile and you’re limited to three matches at a time. Hotline has spoken to Mashable and said that this is a conscious move to avoid users treating the people they match with as commodities.

Unfortunately the service is limited to New York (although you can download the app in the UK) and only available on iOS. It’s $9 a month and if it is a success they plan on expanding.
