Netflix vs. Qwikster
Sep. 19th, 2011 11:41 amI think the Washington Post puts it best.
My issue is that only about 25% of the movies/shows I want to watch are available streaming. When Starz content disappears, I feel like that number will increase.
I understand how apologies work. An apology is what you write when you feel that you have done nothing wrong, and you want to tell people that you are about to add insult to injury by renaming your DVD-in-the-mail service Qwikster. We selected this name in case you were worried that Netflix was not actively trying to scare your business away. Qwikster is short for Quick, I Want To Come Up With A Stupid Name No One Will Be Able To Spell Or Remember. We chose it after long deliberations where we weeded out any name that didn’t sound like a dairyless creamer, illegal download service from the late ’90s or an awful virus that destroys your laptop’s memory.
