NetFlix

The Netflix project was one of the best projects I have yet to do. It was a very simple group project but I had a lot of fun doing it. There was so much I learned not just about Netflix but also about how Wikipedia works. To start of I will talk about my part of the project. What I was assigned to do was to give the class a brief summary or introduction into what exactly Netflix was. There is so much that people do not know about this company. It is fun much different than other companies. There are only a limited number of people who works on a full time basic. The things the most people do not know is kind of shocking. The amount of money and how much they hurt other competitors like block buster is crazy to see. They are a company that is constantly growing and is leading their sector of the movie industry. There is so many ways now that people can use Netflix from Xbox to the mail it is really cool. Further more into what I learned about Wikipedia. What exactly I learned was that Wikipedia can not always be trusted. The site sum times im not sure if it is on purpose but they twist the truth sometimes. What they say tends to be very beneficial to the companies which make me think that they have a strong bias toward helping them out. This really hurts the credibility of the site. Some of the facts are good to use but I do not think that Wikipedia is ready to be used as a source for any papers. There are many misguided information scattered throughout Wikipedia. I believe some time soon Wikipedia will be ready and a good source to use.
