Here's some more good news for Netflix: The company's consumer satisfaction rating is at a three year high as the sting of a price hike wears off.

The company's overall score registered a bigger year-over-year increase than any other online retailer in 2013, according to a survey of tens of thousands of consumers conducted by the American Customer Satisfaction Index.The research group, which shortens its name to ACSI, said the streaming video service "seems to be well on its way to recovering from the massive hit to customer satisfaction that was inflicted by the 2011 increase in fees."
Netflix's score in 2013 was 79, up 5% from a score of 75 in 2012. This compared favorably to an overall decline in the online retailer sector, which includes companies like eBay (EBAYFortune 500) and Overstock (OSTK) that are in very different businesses than Netflix (NFLX) but are grouped together for the purposes of the index.
ACSI says it assesses customer opinions of more than 230 American companies. Retail data was released on Wednesday. Claes Fornell, the index's founder, chalked up the declines among online retailers to consumer frustration over last-minute holiday purchases that were delayed due to inclement weather.

My class

English IIII

My teacher is Mrs. Greene, who is a little older than most teachers but also one of the more energetic.

When the class first started I was expected to be able to read and write and a higher level than I was able to before. 











What I have learned to date was a long list of SAT vocabulary words

The most interesting part of the class is Mrs. Greene, she has a real passion for teaching and it shows during the class.
 
The only technology that is used during that class is my phone to play flappy bird

Twitter reported strong sales in its first financial report since going public last year, but the stock fell in after hours trade on a disappointing outlook.

    The social network reported sales of $243 million in the fourth quarter, up 116% from the same time last year. That easily beat the $218 million in revenue that Wall Street analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had forecast.
   But for the current quarter, Twitter expects sales of between $230 and $240 million -- double last year's haul but lower than the past quarter. It would mark the first time Twitter's quarter-over-quarter sales have fallen since the company began reporting revenue in 2011.
Twitter shares were down nearly 18% in after-hours trading following a call with analysts.
