You're not wrong about "change" meaning "new potential wealth streams". But not sure Facebook counts, 2004 vs 1993 shows an immense difference in network connectivity and computer ownership. No way, hands down, Facebook would be what it is, if it started in 93. It probably would have gone bankrupt, or been replaced by an upstart.
Has everyone forgotten Yahoo!
It had Geocities, chatrooms and messengers, as well as, for a while, a very strong search engine.
