There was a discussion about Gmail last night with some guys from Google:

http://3gp.us/videos/20040911003347687.3gp

It gets a lot of attention right now because it's by invitation only, so
everyone who gets an account feels special. :-)

But, there are some technical merits that I think we can all learn from.
After last month's presentation on XUL, I think it is becoming clear that
Web development in the near future will involve fewer HTTP transactions
and more client-side logic. The client-side logic might be fancy DHTML
stuff, XUL, Flash (think Flickr), etc.
