I have spoken about opwb in the past.

Moving forward, we will/should have desktop or web based “Iprogram/webnxt” which would be used to complete ‘tasks’. Very soon Internet would only be about completing tasks and people would log into this program and complete tasks. Portals, websites, blogs, apps, databases, etc., will form its back end.
