I wholeheartedly support web standards but I don’t support web fundamentalism. If you think the web is The One True Platform, you’re wrong.
@laurakalbag My beef is with the ‘the web has won’ (what has it won? Hyperlinked documents? Yes. Apps? No.) & ‘native apps are CD-Roms’ args

@aral I agree with the CD-ROM argument, but I disagree that it means that there’s no value in native apps. -
@laurakalbag The CD-ROM argument is flawed. CD-ROMs were a delivery medium. The *Internet* obsoleted CD-ROMs, not the web. -
@aral nothing is ever going to be directly comparable. These kinds of similes, and “win” or “lose” arguments are just dramatic effect.

@aral the web also has (to a certain degree) an inherent longevity. But it’d be very naïve to think it will last forever.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
