The 'flix' in Netflix refers to 'flicks', i.e. films.... that is clearly not the case here. Surely the name should have been something more like 'NetCasts'?
- dsamarin 8y agoFunny though since a netcast is already another word for podcast according to Wikipedia. Netpods, anyone?
- lostlogin 8y agoI’m voting for PodFix.
- wingerlang 8y agoIt doesn't matter. anything-flix right now pretty much means 'content on demand'.
- nbevans 8y agoSo much this! "Flick" or "flicks" is a reference to the flickering that happens during old fashioned mechanical projection.
- halfastack 8y agoAs someone else has pointed out here, though, it also stands for "flip through" ;).
