Web-programming should really optimized for vsynced animation, social networking, messages, videophoning, database, keywords etc. All those things that have come to be popular.

Ultimately the internet becomes a complete social network, with all the advanced features one is used to, and one can post, or share from local node, by keywords blog style, for instance, with autosearch to similar topics, keywords including geographic location, topic, age etc. Interesting development is it not. Now that is a network. Imagine having an app that does all this sitting in the system tray, popping up when there is a videocall etc. And ofcourse the databases will be optimized and named Coolbase.

Peace Be With You.
