I suspect your perspective is a bit skewed as most companies are building native apps first and only doing a webapp when / if it becomes necessary. Native apps have won the this round and their momentum isn't slowing down. IIRC, Facebook is seeing 78% year over year growth on their mobile app, while desktop usage is declining. Instagram is another huge use-case where the web app is a second-class citizen.
- jsprogrammer 12y agoWhat "most companies" are doing is mostly irrelevant in the larger picture. You're talking about proprietary networks and how they are shuttling their users around, while the interesting things are the opening up of real information and creating linked, collaborative, open ecosystems where everyone is free to participate. That's happening on the web, not in Facebook's latest iOS offering.
