The web is not the same as the Internet, though. The web is an open platform built on open protocols on top of the Internet.

Interesting question: What is the Web? HTTP, or HTTP+HTML? Facebook mobile clients use HTTP, so are they using the web?

So.... Does the Facebook mobile client count as using the web?

By the definition, yes, though I can't say how FB themselves count it.

I think they are coming from the web vs native app frame.
