Here it is, two months ago you said:

I think the web itself is dead as we know it..
We are in a full blown transition to application model on mobile devices, handhelds, TVs, phones, tablets etc..
I think it's only natural.. as web 2.0 was maturing, so did business models.. and more and more we saw startups creating services/platforms with API hooks. This is Web 3.0.
I was and am involved with several startups and this is how things are morphing now..everyone is doing this model.. it's the next step.
Most sites don't have the destination model anymore in terms of web site.. they do have website still, but not for the same necessity as before, less and less people want to get people to visit their sites. It's all about APIs.. so Netflix, Hulu and all others are now using devices and your TV and your consoles to hook into the those websites you were using your computer to visit.
Even now, you see that our desktop computers won't be really using browsers anymore but will use online stores such as OSX App Store, or Intel's AppUp, or Adobe's InMarket etc where you will be running applications the same way you run them on your home/portable devices.
