Beware the Blob Monster!

While developing a web application, when your software grows up, you have to resist the temptation to fill it with useless features. Otherwise you will obtain an indescribable, indestructible, Blob Monster!
As things progress, don’t be afraid to resist bloat. The temptation will be to scale up. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Just because something gets older and more mature, doesn’t mean it needs to get more complicated. [from 37Signals, Getting Real]
That’s what we are trying to achieve all along the development process of our new web application WhatAList. We are trying to keep it simple!
Can you suggest any example of application which didn’t resist the temptation to become a Blob Monster?
