> Search engines are for finding content, not for apps
I agree, and one of the points that I forgot to write above is that the article seems to focus too much on apps. A lot of web development isn't about apps.
The article is claiming that we are removing from resources (http, rest) to events, ie apps, for everything. I do think there is still space for the other style done well, with content, but a lot of people seem not to. One of the facets of the web/app war.
If that's the case (and I don't think that's really what he said), it would be a foolish claim. Resources are fundamental to the human experience. On the web most things are just data, but if that data has value to anyone, it's a resource.
Events are fundamental too, and I'm quite happy that the web seems to be evolving to handle them as well.. But resources will always exist, and any 'event' that has enough data for an engine to be interested in indexing it is carrying a resource.
