Webapp revolution


All kinds of things are becoming web apps these days. I'm sure you can drive up to a fast food place by now and order your food over the internet from your car computer connected over the fast food restaurants' wireless connection. Why talk to anybody? Why get out of your car? You can web order your domino's pizza, why not a McBig? Anyway, sometimes a webapp comes along that is so fresh and cool that it has earned it's place in internet history within it's first few weeks of existence. Google maps and all the overlay applications are here to stay, forever. The newest thing I'm trippin on are COVERPOPS. There are everything from handdrums to SciFi book covers to Indie CD covers all arranged by time and hue as if splayed across a ginormous coffee table. You hover over one item, it zooms up to you, click zoom, click open. There are many types of items to peruse. There is also a detailed explanation of how it works that is pretty cool, too. I wonder what data this webapp will be the most handy at. Medical stuff? Geneology?
