Sites, posts, comments, taxonomy, a user graph, notifications. Contrast that to what Dropbox offers -- access to users' files and folders.

What you're reading now, on "Scripting News", was rendered from data stored in Dropbox. With Dropbox, the user has all their data sitting on their computers, synchronized at all times (the core feature of Dropbox). WordPress apparently offers no data storage other than access to blog posts and comments. Google offers access to Google Drive data. ...

The new channel-level elements davewiner dave.winer.12 What can you do with them?
