    Considering what Google did to the jabber protocol, we can all be glad they gave up, IMO.

    Some sites just are before their time. “Broadcast.com” was a website in 1995 dedicated to streaming shows and movies. In 1999 it was sold to Yahoo! for $5.7 billion. It failed and is considered one of the worst purchases in tech history (this was before Twitter). In 2007, Netflix would launch its TV show and movie streaming services and grow to be worth $197 billion.
