johncc,
It appears you have not understood CS1's sense of humor.
Thus netflix 2 is NOT yet announced (unless someone proves me wrong).
Be patient!
My best guess is that when netflix announces netflix 2:
1. it will send an email to all those that are registered (like you)
2. it will announce it on this forum
3. it will appear all over the place on Internet blogs, articles, etc.
4. it may even start a new web site called Netflix Prize 2 - or whatever
In other words, it will be impossible for you to miss the announcement.
Be patient!
And if you can't wait, you might want to take on the P-NP prize/competition. That should keep you busy.

Take a closer look. The clue is in the bump in the check of CS1. That is his tongue-in-his-cheek:-}}

Dishdy,
There are probably better ways of keeping people away from the competition ![]()

And so you think P-NP will keep people away from netflix - oops netflix 2?
I honestly thought I was being helpful.

Why is this taking so long? It's starting to look like Netflix is going to call the whole thing off...
Oh, you misunderstood: the second competition is already underway. As they said, a lot less will be revealed. So, right now, we're busy working on a data set where we don't have movie ratings, and user IDs are anonymous. Since so many people begged not to be given ZIP info, we're not getting ZIP, age, and gender. It's as opaque as imagineable! The paranoid privacy protection patzers are pleased as punch!
I'll be ready to submit the moment they tell me how many people I'm supposed to include in the output set. I hope they'll also reveal the submission URL, because it's a real beast hunting all over the net for the correct site.

I must admit that I found this answer totally hilarious ![]()
