Netflix's Back And Forth

From Yahoo News:
"Netflix drops unpopular Qwikster DVD plan"

Netflix Inc Chief Executive Reed Hastings reversed an unpopular decision to separate his company's DVD rental business and online video streaming service, sending the stock up 7 percent in early trading. U.S. customers will continue to go to Netflix.com for streaming and DVD-by-mail rentals, as the company has dropped plans to move its DVD rentals to a separate business called Qwikster, Hastings announced in a short statement on the company blog on Monday."In a statement issued on Monday, Hastings said "there is a difference between moving quickly -- which Netflix has done very well for years -- and moving too fast, which is what we did in this case."
Netflix said it will not rename the DVD service. U.S. members "will continue to use one website, one account and one password for their movie and TV watching enjoyment under the Netflix brand," the company's statement said.

^ Netflix needs to stop all this back-and-forth. They also need to fire the employee/employees that continue to think up these stupid ideas (except for the one/ones that lowered the price for just the DVD service - I like that one.) I'm sure that Netflix will continue to "shoot-itself-in-the foot" and change things so more and more customers will get fed up and leave. I hope they decide to do nothing a(if it's not broken, don't fix it) since I like using the DVD service. ^
