That's probably the most successful use of slides in a post I've ever seen, usually when people add a deck in their write-up it makes the experience awful, so kudos.
Do you predict that major sites are going get re-written as single-page apps, either in Node or just Javascript? Are there any examples of major sites that have done total redos as single page apps? (you use the FB app as an example, but I'm thinking like an Amazon or HootSuite or any major webapp).
My sense is that there will be a lot of new sites written as single page apps, but the switching cost for an existing site seems super high.

Cost of switching is definitely high if you were to rewrite from scratch, but the transition to single-page can also be evolutionary. That's exactly the approach we're taking for the Wordpress admin panel for example.
