Announced today that Netflix has already killed Qwikster. Yep, you read that right. Apparently, they listened to their customers (about freakin' time). That managing two websites with two different movie queues would be too much of a hassle. So, Netflix decided to pull the plug on moving the DVD Rental portion of their business over to their new brand: Qwikster.
This has got to be one of the quickest company deaths in history (aside from children's lemonade stands), lol
Anyways, existing and future Netflix subscriber's will continue to be able to use and access the queues from the traditional Netflix website as they always have.
