What was supposed to be "The Next Big Thing", but totally flopped?

Killed by Google

It's not just discontinued Google products. They have a bad habit of starting something up and then not supporting it for very long. They also acquire a lot of things from other companies and then run them into the ground too. https://killedbygoogle.com/.

The Google Cemetery

It would be nice to see one that lets you see the userbase nubmers for each of them, but here is another site, which gives a more fine-grained breakdown by type and year: https://gcemetery.co/.

Diaspora

I heard there's a decentralized privacy-respecting social network called Diaspora that's based on Google+. I never tried it myself, though.

Vero.co

Vero basicly has a similar feature where you can reveal what you want to sellect people. Even profile picture.

Yahoo

I think you're mistaken, MSN was a yahoo.com competitor, not a social networking website. While it allowed users to customize their own news feed, that was a *news* feed, not a social media feed.

Social Fixer

You should check out the (Social Fixer extension)[https://socialfixer.com/]! Unfortunately it doesn't work on mobile yet, but the guy who works on it does it in his spare time for the sole purpose of making Facebook less sucky :).

Rizzoma

I'm not sure if it uses the same code but Rizzoma is basically Google Wave, albeit without some of the more advanced features.
