New API paves the way for awesome Netflix mobile apps

netflix-logo.gifHow would you like to be able to add movies to your Netflix queue from anywhere? You know, you're out at a restaurant eating dinner with a friend and they mention a film you've just gotta see. Instead of trying to remember it until you're in front of the computer, you could open up your Netflix iPhone app, find the movie, and add it to your queue right then and there.

Well, that will soon be possible thanks to the new Netflix API, allowing developers to have access to the core mechanics of Netflix to build new applications for it. From iPhone apps to Facebook widgets, you'll be able to use Netflix in more ways than ever before. And with Netflix streaming on your TV now, you'll be using it more than ever. Awesome!
