I got several online hangouts that did not succeed on their endeavors. For what reason, I don't know, perhaps failure to generate enough revenue to support themselves or it is not attractive enough to advertisers.
They are:
Ringo: http://www.ringo .com
As of June 30, 2008 their services ended
MSN Groups: http://groups.msn.com/
MSN groups service will end on February 2009. They are transferring their service to Multiply. MSN groups website offer migration process for current account managers.
AOL Pictures: http://pictures.aol.com/
ALO pictures is closing their service by the end of this year, December 31, 2008, They had partnered with American Greetings Photoworks to continue the service but you have to transfer your pictures. OLS website is offering assistance on transferring your photos.
There are also other sites that didn't succeed AFAIK, a lot in fact. But I know only those that I happen to join. One such casualty is Narple. Although there are failure, there are also successes, most of them are social start up that evolved to a multi functional fun to browse with webpages.
