“Sunday night’s announcement from Netflix CEO Reed Hastings that the company was to be split in two was a bombshell that quickly became a joke. According to Reed, Netflix will continue to stream content, while a new company called Qwikster would handle DVD distribution. Unfortunately Netflix/Qwikster haven’t acquired the Qwikster Twitter handle from weed-smoking gangstaz, Jason Castillo.

If Twitter refuses to allow Jason to sell his handle to Netflix, there’s always the consultant route. In order to get around Twitter’s TOS rules against selling names, CNN hired James Cox, the original owner of @CNNbrk, as a consultant. Part of his consulting contract stipulated that he would hand the reins of @CNNbrk over to CNN.” http://gizmodo.com/5841887/could-qwikster-make-mad-bank-with-his-twitter-handle
