You are comparing apples and oranges my friend. They all target specific user experiences and vastly different services. If I were to guess, Google would be vastly larger then the rest following by snapchat/facebook tied and twitter lagging behind with 300 million plus active daily users.

I'm no marketeer, but off the top of my head:

- Branding - Word of mouth - Market value

It's tough to become commoditized in this market tho'

My question is which shift do you follow then, the app bubble is there and it's about to burst. Web is trying to build once deploy everywhere. It may not be ideal, but xamarin and other technologies don't offer an easier solution.

I do agree that browsers should be reviewed and revised and trimmed down to the essentials with added functionality through encapsulated plugins or so, the browser tries to solve too much imho

You make a valid point that the term he used is harsh and mean. But don't assume he is a bad person, you can't say he isn't evangelist material based on 1 wrong term he used.

If we're gonna hold words against people, well obama isn't president material, because you remember that one time he said the N-word. No president should use racial slurs. You see what I'm getting at.

Even the nicest people can be brutally honest it doesn't mean he was mean to the people. You yourself are assuming he is not based on 1 brutally honest opinion. No one is perfect and even the nicest people can generalize it's nothing to be ashamed of and definitely does not rule him out
