> I really don't like the tone of many parts of this article. "Again and again, we warned y’all that Facebook, owner of all photos of people on the Internet and the most popular mobile photo app, was going to crush you eventually." It really boggles the mind.

#33"Apps and services like Cluster, Albumatic, Keepsy, Swirl, Flock, Kicksend, Kaptur, and dozens of others are destined for the dustbin of Internet history." I suspect most of these were headed there anyway, no offense to anyone working on them.
As someone who isn't doing web programming, this "app culture" is grinding my gears. I respect a fellow coder's work. I'm sure a lot of hard work went into all those applications listed there (of which, frankly, I haven't heard, because if I want to share something with my friends I upload it on my server and be done with it), but people ought to be more aware of their own smallness. You don't base your enterprise on…
technically, yahoo,google and microsoft(icq,myspace,friendter too) had all the resources to create most of the now popular online services like insagram, facebook, tumblr but they did not and now are buying these or compete with them fruitlessly.
couldn't facebook create an app with filters? yes, but they bought instagram because of the userbase. so I agree with you that these are bad investments but only when the projects don't have something that could not be recreated with few engineers.

#35This article is both hyperbolic and patronizing.
If the article stated, "don't bother building another OS, Microsoft have that market sewn up", I think we would all equally call bullshit.

#38If not, I'll stop working on/maintaining it and devote my time to other pursuits - preferably ones that might bring in some money eventually.
PS: It is currently running on a Heroku instance because I can't afford to 'launch' it yet. :(
