Didja Know? GreenCine sold to WantedList founders
So this morning I happened to bump into Jonathan Marlow, a long-time exec at GreenCine, the pioneering DVD rental and digital download site. (They started out as a kind of Netflix for indies, art movies, and adult fare.) Marlow is now founder of the start-up Cabinetic (his MySpace profile is here.)
He mentioned rather off-handedly that GreenCine had been sold to the founders of WantedList, a rent-by-mail service for adult movies. (WantedList was featured in Wired back in 2005.) They seem to want to keep the deal quiet, as it hasn't been mentioned on the official GreenCine blog, which David Hudson runs (and which was included with the sale). But a female WantedList employee did blog about moving over from WantedList to GreenCine:
Marlow said that the one piece of GreenCine that wasn't sold was the library of digitally-downloadable movies -- which could eventually appear on iTunes or another content marketplace.

While they're owned by the same people, they are two seperate companies. So far as one is concerned, the other doesn't exist. Wanted List is the Netflix of porn, and a good sex retail site. It was great doing Wanted List work but it certainly wasn't my passion, and I'm frankly sick of every conversation being dominated by sex or something sex related because that's all the OTHER person (namely males) wants to talk about to see if I've been in something or see if they can get me into something.
Bottom line is. I'm out of the porn industry, and I'm not sad about it.

For the sake of clarification, my mention of the sale wasn't exactly off-handed. It isn't a secret, either. I believe this to be an extremely positive development for the company, as I noted in person, and I expect that the subscribers of the service are in good hands. Furthermore, the company was not sold to the "founders" but rather to one of the partners specifically. It is operated separate from WantedList in much the same way that the company was previously run separate from Gamelink (to which it had been joined at the hip). In other words, the relationship to WantedList isn't particularly significant except for the fact that they'll be able to leverage their extensive experience in the Rent-by-Mail space. -- Jonathan Marlow

Here's some more information:
* WantedList has a very spotty customer service record. The BBB has given it a "F" for not responding to customer complaints. Rateitall.com has 32 reviews of WL on its site. Of the 20 reviews posted since February 2006, ALL have been negative. If you search for WantedList on the forums at adultdvdtalk.com you will not find many fans of WL either. Many (but not all) of the complaints surround issues of turnaround and WL's processing of DVDs. So much for leaving GC subscribers in good hands.
* The GreenCine/WL merge/association/relationship appears to have started in July, when GC switched its shipping operations and now shares the same shipper with WantedList.
* Since July, GreenCine customers have been complaining on the GC discussion boards of a slow down in turnaround.
* GC representatives have been promising to fix these problems since July. This month, they are saying their plans to improve turnaround are (a) introducing new envelopes (supposedly to help USPS process the envelopes faster) and (b) introducing some hush-hush new feature. Whether or not these features will fix problems that has plagued WL for 19 months remains to be seen. I hope they do.

Looks like the blog post you've quoted has been deleted.

Speaking of turnaround, Josh, you might want to take another look at the GC discussion boards. You'll find a recent slew of happier comments, thanks to an increased inventory and quicker turnarounds. The changes are now beginning to have an effect, and they are indeed changes for the better.

David Hudson--I agree. I am one of the customers who has seen an improvement in turnaround, which is great. I hope this improvement is permanent!
