April 3, 2000: With a link to the misery of web applications on tweney.com, Mark Hurst more or less ridicules the notion of web apps. I think both of them have some really good points (Yes, the internet is too slow). And I definitely appreciate the hype-deflating impulse, but I also think they're being kinda reactionary. These are all soluble problems, so stop complaining and start solving! (God, did I just say that? I better go drink some Kava).

ps--one of the keys to all this is data storage for web apps.
