I used to play bridge on Yahoo! Games in its hayday. It was a great advert for Java Applets at a time before Flash took over and before mobile devices took over the casual gaming market.<p>One of the great advantages was being able to turn up at a bridge table and invite four other random strangers into a game. There were always people available at the time.<p>Of course as parts of the Internet age they get older and eventually pass away. There may even be a time when Facebook passes on. At least we will have the memories.
