What about new sites like Instapaper and Newsblur?

And Digg (OK, OK), Reddit, Hacker News?

We're losing some things and gaining others. The web isn't regressing, it's evolving.

If you understood evolution fully, you would know that "the web is regressing" and "the web is evolving", in addition to not being mutually exclusive statements, regression necessarily implies evolution.

If Reddit is evolution for humanity, I support global thermonuclear war.

I think Instapaper is definitely an advancement and I'm a big fan. How many users does it really have though?
