How Much Does Netflix Spend On Postage Each Year? -- TechCrunch →
“If you ask that question on Yahoo Answers, you’ll probably get something about how a husband’s Xbox was once used for Netflix, but now it doesn’t work. If you ask that question on WolframAlpha, you’ll get get some abstract data about money spent on various things each year. If you ask that question on Bing, you’ll get a bunch of old content. Both Ask.com and Google give you the answer if you dig into their links a bit — or if you click on their first links: to Quora.
What happens when you ask Quora that same question?
You get this: “about $600m”
That’s not just some random person citing some old numbers from an old story. That’s directly from Netflix CEO Reed Hastings.
The data point itself is somewhat interesting, but it has been out there before. What’s really interesting is that once again, Quora is proving to be a go-to place to get such information from fairly incredible sources. No one had yet answered the question someone asked about Netflix, so the CEO took it upon himself to answer it. Boom. Next question.”
