Digg, Delicious, Mixx - lost to reddit
Plaxo - lost to LinkedIn
Bebo - social media space became too crowded
Geocities - died of natural causes
Netscape - slow to adopt after v3
- joshu 11y agoDelicious was a different product from Digg or Reddit, so that doesn't make sense.
- yoklov 11y agoAnd Digg lost for several reasons, but one of them wasn't that it moved too slow. More the opposite, really. They released a buggy version too soon, when the users were already angry and considering leaving.
- dagw 11y agoYup. Digg should be the poster child for why "move fast and break things" isn't always the best of ideas.
- oniony 11y agoAnd Delicious still limps on. I still use it for bookmark management (read: bookmark stuff I'll probably never read again).
- Grue3 11y agoDigg lost because it moved too suddenly. I was bigger than Reddit, but Digg v4 pissed off all the users due to massive changes in site's operation.
