People said this about AOL for a long time, too.

I don’t think AOL ever topped 40 million users while a significant chunk of humanity uses Google. This entire conversation hinges on their unprecedented scale and reach, I don’t think this is an apt comparison.

People (including me) said this for a long time about Yahoo! too. Kinda ironic they both merged and basically died together…

Yawho!?

Sure, and that also didn't vanish in a day. All I'm saying is that there is a ton of inertia, and people will not be switching to something different in an instant.

You miss the 'A' in AOL.
