Chrome Web Store - What is an app?

Web apps are advanced interactive websites. They may provide a wide-ranging set of features or focus on a single task like photo-editing or shopping. You can easily access the web apps you install from the Chrome Web Store through shortcuts in Chrome's New Tab page. Find more apps by visiting https://chrome.google.com/webstore

Web apps - The new bookmarks. ;)

In the future, I'll expect more from Web apps: Folders, searching apps via Instant search, more filters, and oh yeah, Angry Birds!!

"Installing a program" breaktrough via mobile phones... suddenly everything becomes to "appsy.

It says available on chrome instead of install. But I'm using chrome.

My new tab page used to be like that with the apps on but now its just a search engine home page with no apps or anything. Does anyone know why this is or how I can get the "normal" new tab page back?

Thank you for any helpful responses.

Apps are programs for lazy people.

An app is a "one-click" website. If we weren't all so lazy and need convience a connected computer or laptop is all we need. It's nice to access internet on phone, but there is now a new generation of children who don't know how to "search". Duhhh
