[Web4lib] The end of MySpace, SecondLife, and Twitter

[David Rothman]

The author of the article may be right that these particular brands may not
survive.  So what?

The point he's missing is that the kinds of services and
functionalities they offer (and their descendent services/functionalities
that will come) aren't going anywhere.

For Pete's sake, all endeavors are doomed eventually.  That's no reason not
to start them or enjoy using them while they're around and
useful/fun/interesting.  How else is progress made?

-David
