The Web OS is inching towarding (not at internet time though) reality. It is a well known fact to any *nix user that a command line is the most important part of an OS. I came across this brilliant app called YubNub. [ Another app that I just loved within a minute of using it]
Also realized ( through Jon’s blog) that are so many small bits that are already developed which act as components of the Web OS.
Here is a growling list of such components.
Command line – YubNub
Find – Google
Word Editor – Writely
Registry – del.icio.us
Email Client – Gmail
Spreadsheet – NumSum
Storage/HardDisk – Ourmedia
Photo Organizer – Flickr
IM – Meebo
Desktop – NetVibes
The list is far from complete but it is pretty good start. Oh !! web 2.0 is really so exciting.
I am thinking now who(Yahoo, Google, MS) is going to couple(tie) these all together to deliver as a single platform (co-ordination) to the users. Google sounds to me to be the most likely contender, hey folks at google are you going to use the money that you are raising in the second round to acquire all of these companies ??
PS: Drop me a line if you find another such component that loosely fits in the jigsaw
mtrajan.com 
news reader, feed reader, personal desktop – start.com
You know what we need? A web based sync-app.
Hi Rajan – I’m glad that you like YubNub. And thanks for the pointer to Writely – it looks slick. Love the Print function. In fact I will make a YubNub command for it called “wri”.

you are very right, can RSS and TSync be combined to create this web sync application.
sanyam,
start.com looks cool, gets categorized in the same category as netvibes.com
Jon,
a ‘wri’ command would be really good.
i guess i saw web sync somewhere
btw i am in ActiveSync team at M$
