There is a Core Critical Mass that carries the stickiness around. My story: In 1998 ,99 : I was stuck to hotmail , practically everyone I knew had a hotmail account. then came the Microsoft acquisition , MSFT wanted to move the windows and screwed up on user experience. I held on to my account like my phone number. Saw some improvement in yahoo mail , but still held on to my account. then came gmail. Started realizing that all my friends had started moving to gmail , I was probably one of the last ones to move to gmail. Realized that gmail eroded the stickiness to other providers very very quickly - faster than I could have imagined. an interesting thing about stickiness on the internet is that it is either very tight and keeps on attracting more and more very fast and erodes also very fast.
