Things which really died a death.

[Thankyou4calling]

A bit doom and gloom but I was just thinking of things which were launched in a blaze of glory and never really took off.

The first thing that sprang to mind was the search engine Bing.

For me, and i'd imagine most google dominates.

Then i moved on to E readers, I bought one and can't be bothered with it, maybe they are massively popular but I don't get that sense.

Products, good, services, shops?

What else has quietly disappeared?

3D TV

Good one. And VR too, has it caught on? I'm not so sure.

I can remember 3D Tv was gonna make all else obsolete but can anyone be bothered to sit in those glasses now?

And Smart cars.

I may be wildly wrong in this but I reckon they will have fallen well short of their sales estimates.

They aren't dead but i still look when I see one though in theory they are a great idea as most cars rarely carry more than you could contain in a Smart.

Camcorders were really popular for a good while.

Personal ads on Craigslist.

Where do I go now to find a black disabled midget who is into bondage and likes to talk dirty?

Grindr, probably.

A friend of mine managed to get laid via almost all social media platforms, except probably linkedin. On some random service he ended up very drunkenly inviting over a 50yo one armed man for some fun. The guy arrived after he sobered up and gone off the idea, so had to very firmly tell him to leave.

Needs to be Female. Or tranny minimum.
