Qwikster Dies a Qwik Death - Thank You, Netflix

Rate: 3 Flag

Remember how long it took for Coca-Cola to figure out New Coke was kind of stupid?

 Human beings really are capable of learning.   Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix,  sent me an e-mail explaining their new "improved" system of dividing streaming from dvds into separate accounts on September 19, and here it is, only October 10, and they've taken it all back.

Mr. Hastings, netflix is my only reliable source of entertainment, and  I could susbsist on streaming documentaries, but there was no way I was going to order my beloved inane sci-fi blockbusters from Qwikster.  The name alone was repellant. 

But all is forgiven, until your next bright idea.   If it's not  broken...

Qwikster does sound DUMB
Qwikster sounds like a really bad date. Maybe it looked better on paper. Some great rolling papers.
Yeah, according to reports, their idea lost them 800,000 subscribers!! Ouch, that's gotta hurt!!!!!
