How does Netflix Codes work?

It's inevitable.  At least once a week, your Facebook feed has someone "What do you think I should start watching on Netflix?!"  Generally, this means "Give me a series that I can watch that has at least 8 seasons that I don't have to worry about asking again for a while." right?   I'm sure you've seen all the posts going around about Netflix Codes, but have you clicked on them to see what they do?  It's kinda genius, really.  I was hesitant at first, because I thought it was some kind of hack that takes away from the awesomeness…

Dolphin Paradise App Review | #iPad #Android #app

The instructions walk you through how to greet your dolphin for the first time as well as how to feed and pet it. Don't think that you'll only get one dolphin though! Players have the chance to take care of a whole cove of dolphins.…
