Flickr - that was the future of photo storage, sharing, discovery.
What was the bookmarks social tool called from 00’s? I loved it and it fell off the earth. You could save your bookmarks, “publish” them to the community, share etc..
What ever happened to those build your own homepage apps like startpage (I think)? I always thought those would take off
I think the market narrowed a lot. I haven't been to Flickr in years, but I get the impression it's for more serious photographers now, like SmugMug. It was the Instagram of its day, with mass market appeal. I think that's what people miss. Not the site, but the community around it.
In this same vein, I always thought Tumblr had a great design for a blog. It hits the perfect balance between a microblog like Twitter, and a fat blog like Wordpress. It had various stigma's around the type of people who posted there, which seems to have only gotten worse over the years. It is a shell of its former self and yet anther site that fell on hard times after Yahoo ownership.
Yahoo really is where Web 2.0 went to die.
