I'm sure that'll happen again--for two reasons. All (most) of these sites plan to earn money and who needs six online timeline generators!! I keep telling people to backup their files or photos, but I don't want to be Chicken Little. Also during the dot.com bubble the exhibitors gave away phenomenal stuff for free software, computer bags, tool kits, year long subscriptions, books, etc---a couple of years later you'd be lucky to get a bookmark or catalog. haha When I first started presenting at NECC in the mid/late 90s the exhibition hall was FILLED with the next best thing—and all of these things were “free”–Classroom Connect, eboard, BigChalk, RiverDeep, etc etc. A year or so later 90% of the next best things were gone and the rest charged a fee.
