Well, it's 2009. A decade would be anything after 1999.
For mean, that means Napster wins hands down.
Not only did it completely revolutionize the music industry in ways that are still being felt today, it opened up whole new possibilities that helped to popularize things like bit-torrent and decentralized networks - One could argue that even cloud computing had it's origins in Napster.
Napster is like the Joy Division of the software world: Everyone forgets about them, but everyone loves something that has been inspired directly by them.
- anigbrowl 17y agoWell, I'd argue that 'of the decade' starts after midnight on 1 January 2000^, and Napster was just a smidgen too early for that. but upvoted anyway because I like your Joy Division comparison. ^ 2000, what a letdown eh? I'm still waiting for my atomic jetpack and frankly I'm running out of patience.
- mistermann 17y agoNapster was truly incredible, and the content on the network was so clean and well organized. Funny how long ago that was now....
