Interesting stuff. However I do not consider any app, that requires more than the basic browser, a "Web App" . Even if a application is running as a Active X control or Java Applet, I don't think of it as a web app. It is a just a application that uses http protocol. I think a better term is "Online Application, rather then calling them "Web App" I have been writing web based Java applications since W3C released the first version of Jigsaw Java webserver. And I have tried to make them independent of any client side plug-ins. Having said that, I do realize that some applications will require plug-in to run in web browsers. Here is a interesting Slashdot discussion on Online Application that run in browsers, but require plug-ins: http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/08/12/1948219&tid=185 Some interesting applications are listed in this discussion.
