Before Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter, there were dozens of social media platforms that disappeared. Sites like Friendster, MySpace, and Orkut shaped early internet culture but are now mostly forgotten. Revisiting these platforms sparks nostalgia and curiosity, especially for younger readers who never experienced them. While many sites cover the giants like Facebook, fewer dive into the forgotten platforms, which makes this a low-competition opportunity. It also creates a chance to discuss why these platforms failed and what lessons modern startups can learn.
