Here's what this particular visitor's data looked like...
At 4:34 PM they arrived, took a look at the post and a comment and then left their own anonymous and inane contribution to the discussion. I guess I should be flattered that they glanced at an Evening Sift before ending their almost 9-minute visit. [As always, click on images to make them bigger.]
Part of Blockbuster's slide to obscurity might have something to do with their employees spending time searching the internets for derogatory blog posts rather than focusing on getting the company healthy again.
Or at least putting all that brain power to work and figuring out a way to retrieve member data without a membership card.

When I asked my local Blockbuster store manager when she thought the ID machine would be replaced or repaired she said, "never". Corporate is not maintaining the stores or merchandise.
Netflix will benefit from the poor service at Blockbuster.
The company has closed about 1,300 stores and intends to shut down hundreds more. It had about 5,200 stores worldwide in January, excluding franchised shops. About 3,500 of those were in the United States.
The company is trying to update its business, setting up video rental kiosks like those run by Coinstar and offering a DVD mailing service. It added 2,000 kiosks in 2009 and expects to have more than 10,000 by the middle of this year — but NCR Corporation, which operates the kiosks, is “under no obligation” to install or run them, Blockbuster said.
Haha. They still have to use IE6. The fools! They are doomed! /nerd
