I'm quite keen to try Google +, but it's not a solitary game :-)
I can see how those companies lost their ascendancy, as well. Compuserve
stayed in the old days of the Internet (I had a numbered account for a while).
AOL uses advertisements in the most intrusive and garish way. Palm and
Blackberry were a little unlucky, I think, perhaps with their interfaces and
their designs. But of course RIM had the major snag with their server(s) a
month or 2 ago . . .
