Netflix launches Flixtape bc music is so passe - CNET

Welcome to the age of streaming playlists -- for video.

Netflix has made it easier than ever for you to give your loved ones a glimpse at your digital soul with its new Flixtape service. According to the company, a Flixtape is a short playlist of streaming titles that you can share on social media or just with "someone special." I think all of you are super special so I made a CNET-specific Flixtape just for you!

No, I'm not old enough to have made many true tape-based mixtapes, but I bued a lot of CDs in my day and they were the perfect way to share a moment in time with someone. And Flixtapes seem like the perfect way to make playlists for friends and family in any number of scenarios; I predict that the "You Can't Make Me Leave the House" Flixtape or the "It's Too Sunny Outside" Flixtape will be my legacies. I've already made three Flixtapes in the last 30 minutes...I might have a problem.
