There is resistance to almost every new web application. That's because very few new technologies make sense. But add in enough users, and enough money for the company to survive, and all of a sudden the benefits become self-evident, the most important of which are user-to-user interaction. In 2004, facebook was a terrible way to share pictures or communicate with your friends. Nobody had heard of it. Users already had to login to AIM and check one yahoo, hotmail, home ISP, and school e-mail accounts. But in 2008, with millions of users, Facebook is what everybody uses. In the early years of the telephone, very few were available. What's the point of inventing new technology if you can only think of a few cases where people will use it? Right?
