My problem with most of social, sharing, reading apps is that they save time in the beginning, but reality is the more you engage, the more you notice they all have a very low signal to noise ratio. I don't need to administer all my streams from one app, what I need is apps that give me the content and functionality I really need instead of generating an endless flow of links (the long tail). IMO personalised web is in its infancy. And that's where I agree with Jordan, that for the moment developers want us to waste time and boost stats, so we're flooded with suggestions we don't want on websites bloated by functionality we don't need. Paying for apps just to be able to get rid of distractors and replace them with better quality services seems like a solution.
