Attention capability vs. attention sweet spot

So, Just has a good observation about one more thing that's new in web 2.0:

Web 1.0 was 7 plus/minus 2 items, web 2.0 is 2 plus/minus 1 item.

Web applications are moving from targeting our attention capability (think altavista; think Windows) to targeting our attention sweetspot (think Google, think 37Signals).

I like it. It's like an attention economy analogue of the "It's your data" meme. It's your attention too, we shouldn't ask for too much of it.
