Today Facebook feels like it's the face of the Internet, but that will inevitably change.



Wasn't that long ago when AOL felt like that. :D:D:D


Compuserve will make a come-back!


Remember when you had to call the AOL dial-up number just to log on? And you paid the monthly fee? :D

Heck, Compuserve charged BY THE MINUTE. You couldn't afford to stay online for hours at a time. So there were special programs that would log on, grab all the new messages and download them to your computer, then log off. Then you could read at leisure and compose replies offline. And finally log back on to send a burst transmission to upload all of your replies. So you could be in and out in just a couple of minutes to keep your fees affordable.
