OWA and Ajax appeared 6 years earlier. Why would Gmail be considered the milestone instead?
- LukeBMM 5y agoWhile the tools were available earlier, I think it's fair to say that GMail was most folks' first experience with a functional (while the content of the emails was still present, the point of GMail was reading and managing emails, rather than displaying their content) web app, rather than an informational one. It seems a valid milestone, if not the first example.
