Netflix isn’t spinning off its DVD service as a separate site named Qwikster, CEO Reed Hastings announced in a blog post this morning. Twitter reacted with mockery.
Still think the $50,000 I paid that guy for www.qwikstersux.com was worth it.

On the plus side. Reed Hastings says Netflix is done with price increases. And you know once he says something, he won’t change his mind.

Goodbye Qwikster. Now I’ll go back to using you as a nickname for my penis.

Good, so Quikster can go down as just a horrible dream sequence – DVDs will be staying at netflix.com blog.netflix.com/2011/10/dvds-w…
