I’ve been trying to come up with a simple test that lets you know whether some software is on the web or if it just can be made to appear in a web browser. So here we go.

If you can hook up a piece of the app to the a piece of another app then it’s on the web.

This comes from the basic feature of linking, which is the unique feature of the web.

Every other feature that makes the web the web in my experience allows two things to be part of each other.
