Comments on: Having your Web App Cake and Eating it Too http://www.uie.com/brainsparks/2006/11/30/having-your-web-app-cake-and-eating-it-too/ UIE\'s latest insights on the world of design Wed, 3 Dec 2008 23:38:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: portrait artist http://www.uie.com/brainsparks/2006/11/30/having-your-web-app-cake-and-eating-it-too/#comment-90276 portrait artist Mon, 08 Oct 2007 09:39:26 +0000 http://www.uie.com/brainsparks/2006/11/30/having-your-web-app-cake-and-eating-it-too/#comment-90276 I get your point but my problem with Zimbra isn’t actually about being offline or online. I think Zimbra has some issues with some browsers. I’m a FF-user and so far everything is fine between FF and Zimbra. But when one time I had to use IE7, Zimbra didn’t seem to perform well there considering that Zimbra doesn’t have anywhere near as much HTML, which hurts them in IE. Will there come a time when browser-related issues for Zimbra will be addressed? I get your point but my problem with Zimbra isn’t actually about being offline or online.

This is the way of the web future – and I am quite excited at the many prospects. Zimbra is not the only application that is attempting this – there are many others, too, and I am eager to see who is going to release the best product (and the soonest.) I think it's a brilliant idea – one that we should have thought of already – and am really happy to see applications and programs go this way. Absolutely – I agree with you on your final diagnosis.

What I'm continually amazed at is how Google provides so much value that, although there is grumbling, people still use their services despite the obvious security ramifications of having your data stored elsewhere. For now, people still trust Google. And you're right, people do adjust over time. The bank example is a good one! I remember how people used to repel at the thought of doing banking online, and now it's simply another place we have our data. Daniel, certainly some types of information are different than others.

For example, there was a rumor some time back, that Google is planning a 'back up' system ... are more and more people letting go of their data? Just as people were once worried about not going into a bank to get their money, ATMs and Internet Banking are common applications for people. Thoughts?

At least thats what they say in their introduction video. Since its not operational yet, can't say that it actually works :) I believe Scribe (http://iscrybe.com) has offline functionality as well.
