It is always worth to know a little bit more about popular webs history and compare their initial purposes with the ones they ended up. I am wondering now, what we can expect in next few years... Which other websites will achieve spectacular successes? Hi Bill. Excellent post and tool.

My primary thought when writing this wasn't so much linkbait as it was satisfying my curiousity, and I thought that other people might be interested as well. Hi Jonathan,

It definitely gave me a few ideas for future posts on my own site. I think I've got to say that your screenshot of the Facebook entry was my favorite. Hilarious! Thanks Bill, this one's getting bookmarked and emailed to my network. This post was a great example of how to generate organic link bait.

Would Google have achieved the success it's had if it continued to use the name Backrub, or would eBay have thrived as echobay.com? I'm not sure. On the other hand, I suspect that Amazon.com probably would have done just as well if it were named Bezos.com. Hi Peter,

If twitter was at twitter-is-a-micro-blogging-service.com, I dont think it would have ever taken off. I think the domain/brand name is very important to success.
