Une nouvelle application riche connectée

This is exactly the sort of evolution I'm expecting to see around the Internet. When Web-based (i.e. DHTML) applications are too limited in terms of functionality and user experience, you need to offer a full-blown, desktop-like application that is connected to the Internet and manipulates information that resides on the Internet.

Plutôt qu'une nouvelle version de son site, eBay propose depuis le
début du mois en bêta test son eBay Desktop. Une sorte de widget
qui permet à son utilisateur d'utiliser les services du site d'enchères
depuis une interface beaucoup plus ergonomique et intuitive. Découverte.

DocSyncer Bridges Your Desktop With Google Docs

Someone is finally realizing that desktop applications are not going away anytime soon...
clipped from www.techcrunch.com

One of the biggest drawbacks to working with Webtop productivity applications such as Google Docs or Buzzword is that they force you to work simultaneously in two different worlds: the online world and the desktop world. You can upload your desktop documents one at a time to these services, and they convert them for you into a Web-based document, but there is no easy way to bulk upload your docs. And syncing between the two worlds is more trouble than it is worth.

A new service called DocSyncer hopes to fix all that.

It uploads all of your Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) from your desktop to Google Docs and then keeps them in sync. Whenever you make a change on your desktop, the change is automatically reflected in the corresponding file on Google Docs, and on DocSyncer.com.
