I don't disagree with you at all. You make a valid argument.

But I guess the point I was trying to make was: As an end user, if I don't have to log onto a website through my browser, I don't consider myself to be ON the web. Instead I'm using a much lightweight service which gives me the same information. I am sure more and more people will resort to apps and widgets to access information online. This will result in a reduction in "website" traffic.

If I'm not mistaken, the controversial Wired article tried to say that users are switching to mobile technology(read apps) because its much sleeker, convenient and less time consuming.

After the Twitter for Mac app, I don't see myself opening my browser and logging onto twitter.com. To me, it seems like an added step to access my twitter feed
