He addressed this. It's not just HTTP, it's the inclusion of web views of browser content and linking between apps that makes something webby as opposed to just an internet-enabled app.
- dewitt 13y agoIt's entirely possible to build a native app that is "of the web". But not all apps are, even if they use HTTP. In fact, most apps are not. Just take a look at the most popular apps: http://www.apple.com/itunes/charts/paid-apps/ http://www.apple.com/itunes/charts/paid-apps/ How many of those could honestly be called "web" in any way at all? 5%? 10%? It's a stretch to claim otherwise.
- Tobani 13y agoWho claimed that any of those apps were part of the web?
- loumf 13y agoIt's not just the number of apps. It's the cumulative hours spent in them. As Gruber pointed out, Facebook is winning big here, and their apps are webby. As a category, games are used a lot and non webby. That would be the main counterpoint.
