3 Flopped out IT ideas

 I would like to start with one that contains the flop verb form in it's title: Flappy Bird. 

This is an app  game which was developed around the 2013 by  Nguyễn Hà Đông. It started raising the number of people playing it and a year after, it became super trending that much that it was considered dangerously addictive. In fact the creator felt guilty because of this particular characteristic which made it popular so he deleted it from the App Stores and remove it form the market . 

The next failure I want to talk about is Vine (The entertainment network where videos and personalities get really big, really fast. Download Vine to watch videos, remixes and trends before they blow up.Vine online site)

It consisted on creating videos that last for so little, exactly for 7 seconds. It was created on 2012 and Twitter bought it in the same year. It became so popular and actually was a good idea that even today there are some apps which are similar to it such as Tik Tok. I even found it even usdefull when I was little actually it worked so good to share your life in videos with your friends and have fun. But what happened to it? Why such a good idea got cancelled? Well the first and most basic reason was the money. The cretors and owner didn't want Vine to be monetized a fact that Twitter was not going to support due to financial problems that Twitter was facing around 2016. So from the popularity to the shut down in 4 years. Well at least it was fun for those years.     

Finally the one an only for me is the Windows 8. 

Released on October of 2012, it was a new idea from Microsoft to introduce a new software, actually I need to say that it was needed because the company needed to do something due to the incoming market of tablets. So they tried to make an OS similar to a tablet one but for PC. But why it didn't worked? It sounds clever at least.

Let's just say that it was risky. The users found it strange liike it didn't seem as a PC system, like if you want a tablet system format then just buy it but if you buy a PC then you want it to be a proper PC which it didn't seem as it. So Microsoft needed to fix it and this is why they released Windows 10 in 2015 as a proper PC software which was and is still more solid as a software idea for computers.
