Careful, Chris. People are going to start accusing you of becoming one
of the luddites like me and Stewart.

No need for sarcasm a.
Yeh but web mail never had the functionality of Google Mail.
Besides I find that one add out of ten is actually interesting to me.
I don't really understand why people find the idea of opening up
the web with services is undesirable. Maybe not necessary though
I would argue that many of us find outsourcing all kinds of things
both economicaly better and far more convenient.
Like all things there is a tradeoff. Like most new things there is
hype. But I will bet that ten years from now we will have a lot of
viable web services.
You guys do remind me of the older technology guys who hated the
WWW in 1993 and 1994. The younger Web 2.0 guys remind me of the
idiots who drove the dot com boom/bust cycle.
The actual outcome with split the difference.
So it goes.
