Hi,
I know this is a bit of an aside but still - it's surprising how dynamic the world of the internet is.
Personally, I've never heard of these services mentioned above, with the sole exception of AOL, which we use as an inside joke among my friends to describe someone who just can't move on from the old, lives in a shed with a cowboy hat - that sort of thing.
Today's mega giants - Discord, Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter even outlook or gmail! How long do they have?
I was a five year old when Skype and Yahoo were all the rage. Why did they stop? Why do any of these stop?
Is there a way to determine the decline of a certain app or website?
What are the factors behind this?
Yeah... looking back at the "old" Internet, personally, I miss the old, more decentralized web, not dominated by a couple of massive tech conglomerates, w/ the increasing superficiality, the vapidity of modern dialogue accelerating an ever-faster pace.
As for the mammoths of today, I have to say that barring a major scandal involving those services, I don't see them going away in terms of dominance in the next 3 years(granted, things can change, but prob not that fast.)
And for an alternative browser rising up and for being somewhat competitive in terms of marketshare w/ Chrome? Probably not happening, unless major funding comes to Mozilla and Firefox w/ Gecko, the only other viable browser engine.

I cannot find a way to edit this using my admin access.

Hopefully MIF himself might intervene if he has time. I always thought that the "Messaging" subsection of the Profile section was quite archaic... some aspects do need to change sooner rather than later!
