I had my own list on my iPhone, writing down what I wanted to watch, and where those shows are. Matt Know: It's interesting, because the demographics are the same as Netflix, and it's pretty spread out between those demographics. Netflix is now in 190 countries. How did you come up with the idea for the company?

It’s a Netflix for business cards and receipts. On the card I usually write the date, where I met the person, how I met them and what value I can bring to the table. So if you are selling me a solution to a core problem I have then that means I have been actively seeking you out and I’m relieved to find out you exist. Blogs and Forums.

By now you probably know that Netflix is splitting its business into two parts: its digital streaming business (retains the name Netflix) and its DVD mailing business, which was its original business (to be called Qwikster).

Where you can talk about topics that it might not be appropriate for a VC to discuss in writing.

Thank you.

Ultimately the Goldman Sachs report gets picked up by a journalist who writes a hyperbolic headline with emphatic conclusions because nobody wants to read that tomorrow will be just like today. So a degree of skepticism, critical thinking and understanding data biases are always in order.

We had to write a CRM to keep track of them all. Example: Netflix). I’m going to try to do something for you guys that I’ve always resisted doing. One of the big questions, probably the biggest questions that I get from reporters, is 'what trends do you see? What’s going to happen in the future?' There is no competition.

For instance, if a user registers for a firewall, subsequent offers for anti-spam or anti-spyware solutions will generally fare better than random solicitations for Netflix, Geico or the secret to whiter teeth.

In more than a decade of writing about the Internet and tech-enabled businesses I’ve learned that mobs don’t do nuance well. Distribution of media is tightly controlled by YouTube, Netflix, Facebook, Amazon and a handful of others.

I believe that NetFlix has won the battle for the “head end&# of content from films. They have such a strong base of subscribers and their strategy of “Netflix everywhere&# is brilliant. I’m such a big believer in the power of writing, editing and producing. We watch it on the iPad. We pause.

Homecoming King @hasanminhaj on @netflix is a brilliant, incisive, cutting look at race & immigration in US. The writing on this show is some of the best writing in modern American comedic shows. Below is the Tweet I sent immediately after seeing it.
