From "You Got Mail" to "The Social Network"

"You Got Mail" was the movie about AOL released in 1998. The film was starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, it signaled the top of the popularly and the subsequent decline for the AOL. The beginning of the steady downslope slide for the AOL hype and relevance as a platform. The pattern might hold for the Facebook's breakout into the popular culture with the new film. The AOL was the original anonymous "social network". Perhaps when a form of expression penetrates a culture so thoroughly it becomes uncool by definition.
