Yeah Facebook is able to leverage peer pressure in a big way, yahoo had email but with facebook messenger if you cancel out you lose access to communication with a lot of people. Not even google was able to make a dent in facebook, google plus turned into a broken joke.
- samfisher83 10y agoAOL/AIM used to be Huge. Now not so much.
- deciplex 10y agoIt didn't help that when the buzz and hype was greatest for Google Plus they... didn't let people join Google Plus without a difficult-to-obtain invite. By the time they cut that out nobody gave a shit anymore. Turns out Cartman's "you can't come" technique doesn't work so well IRL.

- deciplex 10y agoYeah, it did get some buzz going iirc. Gmail doesn't rely on network effects tho.
