I can't recall the particular episode right now but let me give you a another example.
Skype was one of the first platform to provide online chat and video calling services in field of VoIP apps.
Currently we have so many similar new services which are similar (better even) to Skype like Whatsapp , Voca , Talky , Viber , appear etc.. but Skype’s attraction and usage in business industry is still intact.
Skype dominates the world of VoIP despite there are few very good alternatives available.
