all of them that got big quickly were offshoots of this program. they were never set up to give people the ability for free expression, it was always about data mining and manipulating the public consciousness.
the only ones that gave people platforms for free expression were the geocities/tripod/angelfire/clone type of free hosting sites, and those were attacked and phased out for myspace/facebook/twitter/etc.
