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 guess for various reasons. I have noticed this on places like facebook for example which can pretty much be compared to an app. They allow for quick reactions. Some (most?) peope don't really go online for long discussions any more, and yes they are too lazy to read longer posts rather react on a topic which allows for a quick answer like who u prefer Jason or Michael? Deep discussions on a facebook group, I tried but little luck. And it's also much about the same old or new stuff.
Also I notice some people not having a laptop/pc any more and doing everything on their mobile device such as iphone, smartphone, tablet etc. I really don't understand how people find that handy. Yeah I think it's easy to have a totally up to date GPS, weather forecast, train delays and that kind of things. But do I really need all the fb like apps or silly point and click games when I'm not behind my computer, nope. I don't have the urge to be 'social' in virtual life but asocial towards the environment wherever I am.
It's good however to have people who still care and I believe you are far from the only one but the closure of the imdb boards surely has caused people ending up in different places or deciding not to start all over again.
