Qwikster

This is really fantastic. 

Context.

On the @Qwikster beat: The stoner that is the Twitter user @Qwikster — suddenly famous due to a somewhat-rash decision made by Netflix — now has his own parody account, @Qwikster2, which drew three other parody accounts. @Qwikster doesn’t approve. Tumblr user Qwikster has yet to make their opinion known.

Oh gosh, don’t tell me Netflix offered this @Qwikster dude all of $1,000 to buy his Twitter handle.  If true, that would be one heckuva follow-up to their “apology” debacle.

Reed Hastings, what the Hell are you doing over there, dude?

I was just putting The Lincoln Lawyer back in its Netflix envelope when I suddenly became very concerned it wouldn’t make it back safely to the facility in light of this morning’s news.

13 More Netflix Announcements

Netflix continues to make logical choices in the wake of its celebrated price hike, announcing a plan to split its streaming and DVD services into separate companies. But lost in this declaration of idiocy were 13 other announcements that should not be overlooked.

CEO Reed Hastings just posted an entry to the Netflix blog. It begins like this,

“I messed up. I owe everyone an explanation.”

Yikes.

Turns out all the hubbub on the internet about the price change on Netflix has had an effect on Reed. He’s not going to lower the price, or include...

So this kinda just happened out of nowhere. Netflix no longer going to mail DVDs, only to do streaming. Their DVD mail service is now going to be a second company call Qwikster. I really do hope this move doesn’t hurt them too much. I would love to see their streaming service grow and gain more and more content. Here’s hoping.

@Qwikster’s current Twitter home: Aww, his avatar is Elmo holding a joint. His tweets read like this: “I’m about hungry as shyt but my dad doesn’t want to buy me food lik wtf.” Mr. Jason Castillo, you’ve become the most popular user on Twitter overnight. How would you like to celebrate? “Son bitch need to stop trying to be big lik forreal forreal” (thanks @msuamber)
