#3 Yahoo

What it had: Lots of potential to hit it big.

What it missed: it includes so many could’s—yahoo could have gone for big-time acquisitions such as Flickr and del.icio.us or may be Facebook( too big now). It could have simply gave into Microsoft’s proposal to acquire it, for a sum worth more than the company’s present value or simply did not messed up in hiring a CEO who lied about computer science degree. Too many follies has made company creeping out for stability.   

#2 Digg

Had: There was no bigger satisfaction than finding yours story pop up on the first page of Digg in the year 2008.

Missed: there was a time when some media houses designed the news just to suit it for front page of Digg. Just a wrong redesign, to turn the company more towards MySpace and Reddit , made the Digg v4 documented in history for the worst redesign, which had lost all the glitz and glamour of its predecessor.

#1 RIM/Blackberry

What it had: A few years ago Blackberry was the most popular smart phone which offered a great web experience.

What it missed: Latest market figures shows that, RIM is loosing its position in Smartphone arena. It holds only 6.4 percent of the global Smartphone market, which means around 29 percent fall in sales of Blackberry in just one year. Well Android and iOS are present world leaders in Smartphone segment.

Blackberries fall seems quite sudden, and sometimes one may feel company is not putting enough in to the fight.
