Well done research on social networks and their worldwide uses.

Inspired by the original, if a little flawed, mapping from Valleywag.

Interesting point, Jarod.
I would therefore argue that calling something "obsolete" because
other
choices are available isn't sufficient. I mean, the skateboard is
another choice for getting around a city, but does that make car's
obsolete? For true obsolescence to occur, there must be a better
way to
accomplish the goal that the newly-obsolete technology addresses,
and
this better way must make the original choice more costly (in a
games
theory sense of utility) than the new technology in so far as
satisfying
that user goal.
Agree fully.
