And I found myself saying -- and my PPTs reading -- "Internet" -- but then verbally qualifying by saying, "well I really don't mean the traditional email Internet, but also IM, chat, lists, video, etc." (add your favoriteincluding Usenet and BBS).
What to call it?
I usually use: - "Internet applications", for those things that specifically require the Internet. (Most of the ones you listed.) - "media applications", as the more general class of things that may but don't always need the Internet -- even if they increasingly do. (Like mobile media applications.) cheers Bram
