Letts' Law: All programs evolve until they can send email.
Zawinski's Law: Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail.
I propose a new law:
Every website calling itself a platform will attempt to incorporate the functionality of all other platforms that are popular at the time.
Having a phone for your platform is just another silly functionality that may or may not pan out in the end for any given platform.
It's an inevitable next step for any platform looking to invest in something/anything/i-have-ho-idea-what-do-do-now.
