For the internet, the killer app was the browser. This is a common misconception. The killer app of the internet is e-mail. People could live without browsing, but there is just no way the modern corporation would give up e-mail. This "I wonder how I ever managed without it" quality defines a killer app. The Web is still waiting for its killer app. E-commerce has a good chance of being that, once most retailers are online. But this remains to be seen. The web is nice, popular and useful, but it is not a "must have", just like PC games. In fact quite a few corporations ban browsing during work hours, again just like with computer games. The web is big, and it will get bigger, just like there are some very succesful pc-gaming companies, but people do not go around saying "pc games are the killer app of the PC". Neither is the web the killer app of the internet.
