Netflix API Announcement Soon?
Is Netflix going to announce the much-rumored API soon? Reader Ian sent in the following description of a Netflix API session at the Ajax Experience Conference.
Hacking Netflix
with Bill Scott, Director of User Interface Engineering, Netflix
Netflix has just released its open APIs for developers. Now you can finally mashup Netflix! Bill Scott, Director of UI Engineering at Netflix, gives a tour of the APIs and widgets, and showcases a series of cool hacks from this month's internal Netflix Hack Day. This talk gives you a really quick sense of what can be done with the current release of the APIs.
They stole your name!! Boo!!! :)

Anyone know where more infomation is on the API? I don't see any mention of it on the netflix website.

Cool! They have the retard Netflix staff crashing the shipping and receiving system and now they'll have the entire hacker community crashing the Web site.

@Mike: Don't think the API is actually out yet, that blurb was from the program of a conference which starts Monday Sept 29. Presumably the API will actually be offically released at the conference.
