functionality to something like Cold Fusion or .NET, the only difference
being that it can be accessed from anywhere in the world by firing up a
browser and typing a URL, rather than clicking an .EXE on the local machine.
Like if hotmail offered exactly the same functionality as Outlook, just
within the I/O offered by a browser. You still wouldn't call that an
application? That's why I think your much narrower definition of "web
application" isn't as useful as the broader definition that would include
Amazon, e-commerce sites, and pretty much any other dynamic site that
responds to user input with more than just static pages.
