MySpace did at one point, and it was indeed a walking dead.
Kinda like MySpace, yeah?
MySpace wasn't a zombie while it was at the height of it's popularity. All zombies were once alive. I'm not arguing that it won't be a zombie, but that it currently isn't.
Like Yahoo?
In what way is yahoo a zombie? Yahoo offers many products that are very competitive in their respective spaces (as well as having a 33 billion market cap)
