Data Compatibility Automation

What is the next big thing on the web? It could be recycling data made incompatible by upgrades. Underlying web technology and standards have been stagnant this decade. That has been good for developers as languages and web browsers support code written years ago. This means that when sites like Yahoo upgrade their sites it is for minor improvements, but behind the scenes there are major changes. Yahoo upgraded this week. The old pages had a stock price tracker. It would track stocks you had previously looked up and you could also create a list. Both have disappeared today into the incompatible upgrade trash can. The feature is still there just not any data you previously put into it.
