Official Google Reader Blog: Let your subscriptions’ personality come through : Just one example of why I left NetNewsWire for Google Reader. It’s constantly evolving, and most of the changes have been for the better. NetNewsWire, lovable as it is, hasn’t really changed much in over three years. I’m a believer in Brent’s age of hybrid apps, but the desktop just can’t keep up with the pace of web app development, and as the web gets richer functionality in the browser (which will inevitably happen as Google’s Chrome OS gains traction), I wonder just how often we’ll see hybrid apps as opposed to web apps that run on the desktop. Certainly Adobe and Microsoft, with AIR and Silverlight respectively, are anticipating that future, but closed technologies will not proliferate like the web will (and has).
Did I just have a web app technology digression? Looks that way.
