Qwikster is a terrible name, and this is a terrible move.
Hastings is now in competition with that guy running HP to see who can destroy their company first.
Maybe Ballmer will get in the game and spin off Windows/Office from Microsoft, and rebrand them "Facetown", while proclaiming Bing to be the future of the company.
Unbelievable.
Update: I predict Qwikster is dead and buried within 5 years, and someone else pushes past Netflix on the streaming side to be the leader there.
This move is unbelievably stupid. Any trust I had in Netflix over the long haul is gone.
