    The big problem with these web apps is security - not only is all your data passing over the public internet, but it is being held by a third party which, even if it has a good privacy policy, is subject to external attack, internal attack, and interference from governments with too much power (such as the USA). You might not care about this, but it's worth pointing out.

    Indeed.. plus it another meaningless buzz word along with Web 2.0.. and it's a pain in the * to develop... Everyone wants Ajax type stuff "I want my mail form to appear on a right click and pop onto the page like the Mac genie effect" etc... What's wrong with just having the mail form available and accessible.. etc..

    Although I must admit, I think Gmail is awsome :-)
