Everyone turns to stupid apps these days, but websites can do most anything. I guess with apps, it's all pretty much laid out, whereas websites have different browsers and whatnot that can affect functionality, ie obsolete/deprecated features.
Blah blah. I think the internet can be a great resource for ANYTHING. I never went to college because I have the internet at my hands. I have no need to let those brainwashing establishments turn ME into a liberal idiot. I can just go online and search for something, and find out how to do it. I built this ENTIRE site by looking shit up online, for example. No small feat, but a gradual work in progress.
I think websites can feature all sorts of great communities, but as I've found recently, message board communities are dying, in favor of single-domain based conglomerates, like facebook and reddit. Where have all the good sites gone? If you had a website, what would you want it to be?

I can't imagine ever preferring an app on a phone over a browser on a computer. Facebook, Reddit, etc. have undoubtedly forced websites into shutting their doors due to a lack of popularity, but I can still usually find what I need with Bing. There's never been a time when I couldn't find something and thought, "I wonder if there's an app."
I don't know what my site would be about if I had one (Maximum Overdrive ?), but I do know one thing: I wouldn't let Facebook be a part of it and give people a "convenient" alternative to what the site itself offers.
