Tinkercad Adds Shapeways

As we suspected, another 3D print service has added Tinkercad integration into their interface. Shapeways joins i.Materialise as an option for printing your 3D models developed in Tinkercad. Tinkercad is a web-based, very easy to use 3D solid modeling tool. 
 
The addition of a Shapeways interface permits direct 3D printing capability, very similar to what you’d experience in word processing software. Well, the print may take a couple of days to get to you, but the software experience is very similar. 
 
The question is, does this mean Tinkercad is now the King of web-based 3D modeling tools? What about 123d? Will they add print service connections as well?
