When Netflix started back in 1999, it was a simple but brilliant idea of letting viewers rent DVD’s via the post and internet and became a massive hit thanks partly to its flat monthly rental fee. But even popping the DVD into a pre-paid envelope was more than a lot of users could stand so they moved into internet streaming movies on demand.

Netflix Love Streaming Movies
Now the movie rental company has proved a hit online by breaking into the top 20 video sites on the web for the first time in December, according to figures released by ComScore. They are placed at position 19, sandwiched between Break Media and Justin.TV with a respectable 127 million views for December.
This week, Netflix also announced the inclusion of a select number of new indie films to its streaming collection. And during their quarterly earnings report last week, they revealed that around half of their subscribers are now streaming some content.
