The web is not the same as the Internet, though. The web is an open platform built on open protocols on top of the Internet.

  Interesting question: What is the Web? HTTP, or HTTP+HTML? Facebook mobile clients use HTTP, so are they using the web?

      So.... Does the Facebook mobile client count as using the web?
      • andrepd 11y ago
        By the definition, yes, though I can't say how FB themselves count it.
