Finally you can share your Netflix account with your family without fear of them knowing what you’ve been watching or having others influence your recommendations. This feature has been long overdue but it’s nice to see hear that Netflix will be rolling out the feature by the end of summer. While Netflix currently offers a family streaming plan, it only allows four simultaneous streams (regular plans allow two) but not separate personal profiles.
Yahoo! News got a preview of a prototype Netflix app on the iPad, which shows off icons for different user profiles. Tapping on an avatar will let you log in with all of your preferences, recommendations, and viewing history.
Netflix is also working with TV manufacturers to bring this feature to the big screen. A Netflix executive hopes that this standard will be implemented within two to five years.
