I think it's a "general trend" rather than a website by website trend. I think that 20 years ago most of the discussion online took place with things that looked like websites (forums, mailing lists). These days, most of it takes place in places that look like apps (Twitter, Facebook).

I agree, but is that trend really pushed by consumers or a by-product of developers' and companies' wishes? I'd say it's more of the latter.
