Like many Netflix users, we love the Profiles features, make great use of it, and were very disappointed that it is being dumped come September 1, 2008.

In order to save all of our work rating movies and creating queues, we wrote Net::Netflix and netflix_mover, which are free and open source. This software allows you to retrieve your ratings and queue from a Netflix profile and, optionally, populate a different account with the information.

A lot of people are upset about this announcement from Netflix:

• Netflix blog
• Netflix community forum
• Ars technica
• Ars technica – user comments
  
• Twitter users
• Slashdot
• Hackingnetflix

We really hope they change their minds! Petitions: Save Netflix Profiles, Petition Online.
