Props to Netflix for giving their consumers a voice. According to Hacking Netflix.com, the online DVD renter has quietly launched a new blog for their in-house reviewer.

This is a real blog, with comments turned on - and he's even (bravely) asking for feedback:

"This is an excellent start for Netflix, a very private company, to interact with the online community. They've been listening to us, adding RSS feeds and the much-requested Friends List feature, but it would be great to have more Netflix bloggers."

I really enjoy hackingnetflix.com, but these Netflix user weblogs are good too:

They pointed me to this Netflix user site which focuses on Netflix shipping problems, and is offering a bounty to any Netflix employee to step and cop to the truth on some of his issues:

What's really interesting is that all of the Netflix bloggers are practically begging for Netflix to do a real blog, not just a moview review blog.
