Article: The Upside of Qwikster: Video Games
I am happy to announce to you that Netflix is entering the video game rental arena. Apparently Netflix wants its share of the video game empire! The company that will be providing both DVD and video game rental services is called Qwikster.
There's lots of talk about why Netflix would have a separate company, and of all the names available for choosing, why in the world would they pick a name such as Qwikster.
As you may know, Netflix instituted price changes not too long ago. Could Qwikster be its response to the negativitiy these price changes produced?
Out of curiosity, I visited the Qwikster website and received the picture/message below.
The words beneath Qwikster are "A Netflix Company". So apparently the service is still in the works. No projected date was given.
Here's how your video game rental may arrive or look.
The author of the article states that he is dissatisfied with the long delivery times for both GameFly and Blockbuster video game rentals. He is hoping with Qwikster as competition, the delivery times will improve, or else, he will simply move over to Qwikster.
Ms. H's take. I believe that Netflix is accomplishing what it set out to do. What better way to create buzz about its services than to name its company with a name people will either like or dislike. Either way, people will probably talk about it.
I read somewhere that no publicity is bad publicity. It's when people stop talking that you might have problems.
Hopefully you are talking and saying good things about my Moms-Minute website!
My minute is up! Thanks for visiting my website and come back soon!
Unlike Netflix having problems using Qwikster on Twitter, you will not have any problems following me on Twitter under my Twitter name, "MsHequalswin!"
So please follow me on Twitter!
Bye now,
