Introduction
A WebAssistant is a computer-supported function on the web that extends the possibilities of a user.
Usually it involves an interactive application, through which the user can perform a certain task. Examples of such tasks include:
- the creation of template-based webpages
- the creation of online slideshows
- personal or collective information processing
WebAssistants can also be a reaction to the growing complexity of the web and aim to assist the user in making things easier for him. Such WebAssistants enable users to
- browse offline
- contextualize pieces of information into various webbased products such as WebDatabases, WebDesks, WebPresentations, WebWorkspaces etc.
A highly-popularized example of WebAssistants are Firefox Plug-Ins, which can do such things as translate web pages, track eBay listings, and even incorporate Google products such as Google Web Accelerator, Google Notebook and Google Earth.
