One thing I never liked much about the whole "web 2.0" thing is how it reduces "the Internet" to a few specific apps/sites. If you don't have your photos on Flickr, don't save notes to EverNote, or if you don't use WordPress or Tumblr for your blog, you are out of luck (with ifttt anyway).
Sometimes it feels that if email were to be invented today, it would be closed-sourced app running on one domain driven by a startup funded by Ycombinator.
Please startups, favour openness, decentralization and protocols instead of shiny apps with rounded corners. The world is big, with many people in it and diversity is always better in the long run.
