Dot-Com Service Memories?

Posted by Cliff on Friday February 27, 2004 @02:32PM from the back-in-the-day dept.

Buster Chan asks: "As the dotcom boom was still going strong in 1998, there was a service called MyTalk, which I used to send/recieve e-mail/voicemail/telephone calls/horoscopes and so forth, for free; it was mostly a unique, ad-driven way to avoid paying a quarter for telephone calls from payphones. Most of the ads were recruitment ads for the U.S. Army. MyTalk was a major tool for my online socialization when I was seventeen. Does anyone else have fond memories of MyTalk, or know of similar services that exist for free nowdays, or does anyone remember using interesting, unique services from the dotcom boom that no longer exist?"

  Hi, I'm the ability to understand English, have we met?
  
  Read the first part clearly. Pay attention. Here I'll even restate it:

  Here's a service: a bar without a cover charge. You go meet people.
  
  Right about now you're upset because I have made you look like such a fool. Well, I'm sorry, but you deserved it.
