      I'd say you're missing out on the majority of Web 2.0 there :).
      
      What about the obsession with data that's the backbone of Web 2.0? The
      ability to (and the monetization of!) do fascinating things with
      derived 2nd and 3rd order data - e.g. amazons "if you buy this book,
      you might also want to buy" etc?
      
      Or the whole "internet as the platform, not your desktop app as platform"?
