There was a time when AOL was the internet. I remember when AOL could sell keywords for content. So Bank of America had to pay AOL bucoup bucks to own the keyword for "home banking" (I don't know if they did or not, it's just an example). Then the internet arrived and mozilla and Netscape and all the aol users had to browse the internet with a crappy browser inside AOL and then everyone dropped AOL.
Will someone develop an application that mimics Facebook outside of the Facebook website? Wouldn't it be great to be able to right-click (or for Mac users just click) on the screen and your friends would be in a drop-down? Networking right from the operating system, no browser needed? Or is this no longer necessary since the browser itself will one day go away and the internet will be the operating system?
