Oh I agree with you. I'm extremely ambivalent on the situation.
Except for the abundance of "Share thoughts/messages/pictures/music with your significant other/close friends/social network/professional network/the world on our exclusive app!". We have enough of that software.
We sort of have enough (for me, zero of those is enough) but I think more is still better than less, since individual applications of that type might come up with some useful ideas that get adopted by others.
