There is a paradox with devs here. Most of them are relatively young, which means they have not had the experience of being rugged by a service that started with the best intentions and then changed course or got acquired. They have not built or Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Google APIs that got discontinued. They did not spend nights building an integration with Friendfeed. They don't remember a time when Google Reader was the center of their online life. They did not spend time and money to integrate Google+ in their sites. Or delicious, or Flickr. They didn't buy music on Yahoo Music and probably never heard of Yahoo 360. Which makes it harder for them to truly appreciate in full the value of a decentralized social network/platform.

Came here to make an angry comment about Google Reader but expanded to see you’ve already done god’s work. That was the day I put Google in the trash pile.
