I need a browser which:

- can classify my opened tabs more intelligently. Today, I open 20 tabs on my Safari, Camino, Firefox or Opera, they invariably get slow, making me spend time on closing them or opening them as seperate windows which leads into a MAC tiling nightmare. So I need something that classifies tabs by groups based on their content, allows me to tag them and remains light on the functioning.

- is more social and makes tweeting, plurking, flickring, facebooking all at ease, through a quick drag drop side widget. I remember a people browsr or a social browsr doing a good job. We need such aggregation built into the browser instead of installing multiple widgets that make it slow, or probably there are some and I am not aware?

- is intelligent enough to understand my reading pattern and suggest articles so that I do not get lost in the info. overload of news and intriguing columns, again a classical case of the information overloaded web world we live in.

There should be tons of more improvements in the central nervous system of the browser. Hit me with yours.

And developers out there who agree with me (or my directional sense of thinking), shall we put in some time and moolah and get one up?

With more and more applications and companies positioning themselves online, is it slowly the death of applications offline? Or has it already died? What prompts me to write this post? I was reading about this company called Ajax13 and they are doing some pretty cool stuff – taking stuff that has existed offline into the online world with some add-on’s and some spices of 2.0.

Zoho, Live Documents, Google Docs & Spreadsheets are some examples of having cloned versions of MS office online. Spotify, Songza, LastFM,Songbird – some examples of having music playlists with hefty database of music that you can ever imagine online. So what happens to iTunes, Windows Media Player or rather downloading / purchasing music if there are portals that allow you to customize your music needs through their own collection and make sure you have the same experience as listening to music offline? Or will both exist equally?

The web is witnessing a major shift. While some years back the experiences of having a PC without the internet was acceptable, but with major disruptions in the internet infrastructure, those days ceased to exist. Probably in 10 years from now. there will hardly ever be applications that stands alone in the desktop without synchronizing to the internet or probably more and more webtops kind of devices will start ruling our everyday lives.
