Having grown up with BBSs and getting on information super highway in 92, I miss the crazyness and "decentralization". Also stuff like IMs and IRC I find a lot better than what has replaced them, since you had your choice of programs to use with them, not web page that kind of just lock you down to a browser or a closed off app that is really just a web app. Why cant I have Facebook messenger just part of trillian or pidgen or what ever?
