She is simply suggesting that startups today aren't working on anything important. I somewhat agree with the article. A criticism like this is difficult for tech-minded nerds to accept, since "importance" is a fuzzy concept lacking clearly definable metrics. But we can test it this way: Pretend a company disappears tomorrow without any warning at all. Do you care? If not, whatever it is that they do isn't very important. I think it's fair to say that those groupon clones and photo sharing apps wouldn't be missed. I don't know what "important" is, but I know it when I (don't) see it.
