I've noticed recently that when my friends are watching Netflix it'll tell me the title of what they are watching. I remember a couple years ago Netflix got into HUGE trouble when they changed their algorithm and users could see other users' queue. I'm pretty sure it resulted in a lawsuit, but I'm having trouble finding the article.
Most of the time when I have a friend watching Netflix I only see that red Netflix cover. However I have a few friends that I can see the movie. I currently don't use Netflix so I'm not aware of their features, but I'm pretty sure you should have this as on optional feature.
Find the 'My Xbox' tab on your dashboard then click the window w/your gamertag and gamerscore. Scroll over to 'Online Safety' and choose to change the setting. Click 'Customize' and scroll down to video and music status. If your friends can see your video status then the current setting should be 'Everyone', switch it to blocked.
Your friends should now only see "Watching a movie" when they see you online. And regarding the queue, I've never been able to see anyone's queue, only that they're browsing it. You can only see the movie they're watching, granted they have their settings adjusted to allow it.
It's just a privacy thing, not even a concern. I'm part of the school of thought that not everyone needs to know what I'm doing/where I am all the time. I don't think it's weird that I don't think everyone on my friends list should see what I'm watching, or that I don't necessarily need to check in on Foursquare of Facebook every place I go. I don't have 1200 photos on my Facebook, nor do I announce when I'm on the toilet via Twitter. Not for any particular reason, just cause I don't. Some people do and while I don't think it's weird, I just don't do it. Just like the people that are critical of privacy don't concern themselves with what they're sharing. Just thoughts. I'm not judgmental.
AWWW! I thought this was going to be a thread where I could tell everyone I just finished watching Battlestar: Galactica seasons 1-4. Or maybe I would tell everyone how I'm a big Kung-fu flick lover and how Jackie Chan's old school films are some of my favorites.
i dont mind. i think i have mine set for anyone to see. doesnt really bother me and it saves me the "whatareyouwatchinnn?" question. If netflix had a buttload of porn im pretty sure people wouldnt like the feature. xP
