so these days I am all about decluttering - decluttering my food, my home, my everything. I even started to declutter my ma.gnolia tags and make them more relevant - it's just all too much...So when does the decluttering of the internet begin ? - and are we allready doing it ?
I think I only visit workrelated webpages during the day, and then I have my feedreader and my social communities activities I do for fun. Which sums up to quite a bit during a whole day actually. I am constantly throwing content away or deleting it, most because it doesn't always seem relevant to me.
is the internet going to become simpler ? - with more relevant information and a super application for every purpose ?
I think the super application is allready happening - now I am not a lady who likes to be mainstream, so I always look for alternatives to the " usual suspects apps" (aka. super apps)
However, the usual suspects apps need to make themselves more relevant and efficient for the users if they want to stay on top of the game.
They need to create real meaning and real value for people, who has their life/day made easier because of the application.
I am also very convinced that mobile will play a key part in the "super apps" process to be more valuable for the user.
Basically I don't think that the internet in the future is going to rely on sharing as much as it does now - I think it's gonna rely more on real hardcore value creation for the users where they can see the purpose of the application from the beginning..

I believe that the super-app will be based on something with a Google brand, I don't see any real challengers stepping up, and they're, right now, begining to deliver on this: http://www.kimbach.org/2006/08/21/welcome-to-writely-writely-has-reopened-but-i-need-a-true-nfs/
Writely has to be the, singlemost, important acqusition Google ever made.
The Google brand will be pervasive much like Windows, open much like Linux, universal much like the telephone system.
