Gmail was a revolutionary UI by standards of the day. It was one of a handful of apps that ushered in Web 2.0 and AJAX. Facebook was rougher to be sure, but if you compare to the tire fire of MySpace you realize it was relatively quite good.

Ajax was invented for Outlook Web Access.

I guess Gmail brought it to the masses, along with a decent amount of free storage.

I'm well aware that Microsoft invented AJAX, I don't see how that has any relevance to my point.
