background

The transitional web applications has graduately evolved from web 2.0 and are a good number of examples where the actual application transides back into “real life” either via a peripheral device ( such as a mobile phone, photoframe, a toy, a card) - where you are still taking a part of the webcommunity with you, when you’re not physically “in front of the computer”.

definition of a transitional web application

the transitional web applications has three factors in common:

1. they are transiding away from the web

2. they have a community build around them

3. they enable and support conversations

the actual transition

the transition of the different web applications can be divided into:

- transition to a peripheral device to support a community online (such as “cool usercustomized gimmicks”)

- transition of the actual community (to 2nd life, mobile phones to show presence and be present to your community)

- transition to further develop the web community (getting into 2nd life)

- backwards transition - from “real life” to the web in support of a peripheral installation (a nabaztag, a pleo)
