Netflix train wreck

Emphases mine:
Netflix Abandons Plan to Rent DVDs on Qwikster - NYTimes.com

...We underestimated the appeal of the single web site and a single service,” Steve Swasey, a Netflix spokesman, said in a telephone interview. He quickly added: “We greatly underestimated it."...
So we weren't the only family to dump streaming in favor of DVD, while looking for any alternative to the Netflix we'd come to despise.

What an astounding debacle. It's time for Hastings to go.

Good news for the USPS.

  1. I wonder if the Netflix DVD business would be affected much if the Post Office stops Saturday deliveries. To get your weekend movies by Friday, you'll need to mail them by Wednesday.
