Streaming entertainment service Netflix already gives the option of connecting with friends through Facebook, but what this means is that everyone in your network can see what you're watching, including all past activity. Not everyone is comfortable with this.
You must connect to Facebook but the new social recommendation feature allows for private sharing. After watching a TV show or movie an option pops up to recommend it to a friend and send an optional message. If your friend watches the show or adds it to their list, you are notified. This works even if your friend hasn’t connected their Facebook and Netflix accounts.
