Companies should heed the experience of New Coke.

And Netflix.

New coke is old news but relevant.

The most recent dumb-@$$ move by a company is Netflix.

It could go down as the all time dumbass move.

I know coca cola is bigger but when you lose 800,000 people that were paying you (and would continue to pay you probably until a new technology emerged) $10 a month and you lost them in a matter of a month or two.
