I completely agree with mixmax - webapps are just beginning to garner interest in a variety of different niches.

Most of the webapps you see are geared towards tech minded folks, but there's still a world of opportunity in other sectors.

For example, my startup provides real time analytics data for universities regarding their student enrollment. Nobody in this space is using a cloud hosted solution. Our competition has to install servers, go through the university IT department, and batch process reports... we're blowing people out of the water.

Another example is Woobius, which is basically providing a Basecamp for construction workers.

I believe that webapps are only going to get more popular as the younger, more tech-savvy generation is moving into the decision making roles in the workforce.
