"Are the Free Lunch Days Over for Web Apps?" That's Not the Only Question

It seems as if every once-free service is now pondering ways to make money and extract revenue from their members, which makes sense when you consider that they are, after all, businesses.

I have long been a fan of using web apps. But a funny thing happened - 1) better apps on the desktop, like via Adobe Air (an Edelman client) and 2) mobile apps that are mini versions of the desktop apps. These use the cloud to sync and have changed some of my habits. That may alter the game for web apps just when perhaps they thought they had it cinched. The cloud is becoming an intermediary not the medium.
