I think this is one of those worrying-about-buggy-whip-manufacturer type problems.
Sometimes new things make old things obsolete. Sometimes the old thing is given a new use. Oh no.

- litewulf 18y agoSorry I read this as a very "oh no there are services I like that are being supplanted by Google ahhh!" Simply, there are lots of things I would consider relatively obvious shoe-ins for inclusion in browsers. Searchable web archives seem one of those (its easy to say "I remember seeing a site about it", but sometimes hard to remember exact details) and the obvious response is that some services will die off if they fail to provide compelling new functionality, and some will live on. In the same way, Google or Yahoo search results are way different from what they used to be. I remember people worrying about technorati as search engines began getting better at returning blogs as search results when in the end I think its good that I don't have a different search engine for each source of information. This progression is natural and healthy, and worrying about one product over another is rather needless. Love products for the functionality or the possibilities they allow, not the logo on them. If something better comes along then by all means switch instead of worrying about the health of the old thing.
