Netflix down for 12 hours

Yeah, it's not a good time to work for Netflix. They were down for almost 24 hours total, which is quite a pain considering I'm right in the middle of my two week trial. A few other issues I had with delivery are also making me consider at least giving Blockbuster a try, even though I was pretty sure I would stick to Netflix after the trial was up.

C'mon! If Kris and Thomas can handle an outage with the poise and dignity they did... You could do it too. It'll be interesting to see if Netfilx has the intestinal fortitude to be as transparent tho. Won't it?

BTW, whatever happened to physical redundancy? My A and B locations are 101 miles apart from one another and on totally different networks and I'm only now approaching a pre-alpha stage.

Remember when Wal*Mart.com went down for 3 days after last Thanksgiving? Oof.

Well, Blockbuster has a much, much better business model for consumers. I subscribe to the 2 movies system. I get two in the mail, take them back to the store, which triggers right away two more to be sent & I get two more from the store right away. So, really it is a 4 movie system for the price of two.

What would you do if facebook was down for 12hrs ?

Eric: go back to using my business card collection. :-)

I was wondering why they cut my subscription rate the other day!

I never really saw much point to having a movie sent to me. Now if they want to start making it possible to watch DVD's online, that would be kind of tight and a lot more convenient.

They do have an option to watch movies online from netflix. Just don't expect to be able to watch any GOOD movies anytime soon. Hopefully one day...
