Interesting article on the continuing decline of the web as we move away from browsers and towards other applications for getting our daily dose of the internets.
I don't know about you, but I don't use the web nearly as much as I used to. My email is stored both online and offline thanks to Google's IMAP implementation; my feed-reader is Vienna, and I can read all news and tech stories within that. I listen to music that is downloaded (legally) from Spotify, and I can chat to people using Adium (MSN, AIM, Facebook Chat) or through IRC.
Sure, I still use the web a lot, but there are really only 3 sites I visit on a regular basis: atheistforums.org, google.com, and youtube.com. Even the last two I'm using less; Google because Firefox (and Chrome) have it built into the address bar, and YouTube because it is moving towards the "app" side of things.
What about everyone else? What do you still use on the web, and what has been relegated to another part of the Internet?
