Netflix Abandons Qwikster DVD Name – Goes Back to Unified Netflix Name

Remember how much I hated that Netflix was spinning off their DVD-by-mail service to a new name called Qwikster? Well it appears I was not alone in thinking this was a bad move. Netflix has apparently had a change of heart:

It is clear that for many of our members two websites would make things more difficult, so we are going to keep Netflix as one place to go for streaming and DVDs.

This means no change: one website, one account, one password… in other words, no Qwikster.

Perhaps the owner of that (non-Netflix) Qwikster Twitter account wasn't willing to give up the name? That said, I'm glad Netflix decided to keep a single name.
