The US does have a handful of relatively old, diverse companies, but when traveling or reading into other countries it seems like diverse companies are either more user-facing or more common. It just seems common in the US to hear about once innovative companies over invest in their main business model and die off. Retail like Woolworths, Sears, and Toys R Us come to mind, but so does Flickr. Maybe that's preferable since older companies carry along cruft, but it's interesting to compare the two.
