The photo-sharing app wasn't launched until 2010. Today, there's about 200 million daily active users .
Hulu
The steaming service launched to the public in March 2008. Today, Forbes reports it has about 32 million users .
Uber
Founded in March 2009, this company started out as UberCab. It's evolved, of course, to include car-pooling, peer-to-peer ride-sharing, luxury rides and self-driving innovations (tested in Pittsburgh, no less).
It's almost inconceivable that this idea-gathering site has been around less than a decade. It launched in March 2010 and today has about 175 million monthly users.
Spotify
In October 2008, from Stockholm, a new streaming music service launched. While a public beta was out a year earlier, it wasn't until the company signed deals with Sony, Universal, BMG and others that Spotify truly was up and usable. Anyone could signup for a premium account, but a free version was available by invite only.
Airbnb
The concept for Airbnb happened in 2007, but it wasn't until August of 2008 that Airbedandbreakfast.com launched to the public.
iPad
"It's unbelievably great. Way better than a laptop, way better than a smartphone," said Steve Jobs in 2010, as he introduced Apple's new contraption to the world.
Kickstarter
At the time Ledger died, there wasn't an easy way to get your independent company or product to the public except through old-school suit-and-tie channels. But in April 2009,
the site
launched and fundraising dreamers everywhere have since benefited.
Google Chrome
It wasn't until September of 2008 that Google dropped it's fast web brower on the public. "On the surface, we designed a browser window that is streamlined and simple," Google CEO Sundar Pichai said at the time. "It gets out of your way and gets you where you want to go."
Hard to believe. 10 years.
That can't be right, right? Well, it is.
Ten years ago, on Jan. 22, 2008, actor Heath Ledger, 28, was found dead of an accidental prescription overdose in a New York City apartment.
One way to gauge just how much time that means is to look at what all has happened since his death. For instance, back in 2008, about 139 million smartphones were sold . In 2015, it was 1.4 billion. Other culture points are more easy to recognize, like how in 2008 Donald Trump was just a really wealthy reality-TV show host.
For some perspective, here's nine other things that didn't exist when Ledger died that day.
