I was a Blackberry fan. Hated so much the idea of transitioning to touchscreen devices, but as soon as I got an iPhone in my hands, I knew there was no way going back. Good memories, though.

We should honestly in my opinion be using blockbuster on line instead of Netflix!!

Technically, Blockbuster first started in the mid-80s. 2000s was when Blockbuster started to hit its stride until it fell apart when Netflix stole the company’s thunder.

YouTube took over before Joost. Don't even with that bs 🤣

I would replace Blockbuster with Redbox on this list, since Blockbuster was founded in the 1980s, while Redbox was founded in the early 2000s as a DVD rental kiosk in drugstores. Sad both companies were killed by Netflix.

Companies that inspired others to create similar services
Moviepass (got others to create their own subscription service)

I was too young to remember how popular BlackBerry phones were. Hell, I was only five when the first iPhone wave came out.

8) Wesabe wasn’t a precursor to anything. By the time it was launched, PayPal had already been around for over half a decade and open to the public for a few years – and already quite widespread.
4) My first ever laptop was a Compaq. I don’t even remember its specs (likely laughable compared to those of my current laptop), but one thing is for sure: unlike modern computers, my Compaq and PCs in general were *sturdy* — I bought that laptop in 2000 and it lasted me until 2008 or 2009, showing zero issues until the last couple of years. Anyway, the brand is not that much of a footnote; HP is still producing plenty of computers under the Compaq brand.

I'm pretty sure YouTube was already popular before Joost came around.
