I don't want to make a competition or correct the author, but I consider Wikipedia, Facebook and Google computer programs as well* and they had even more direct impact on the society rather than databases to organize information (just as example).

* Programs which are multiuser, distributed and offering a UI offered in the browser.

I'd call those things services, since they are a huge collection of programs, data and to some degree human operation and hardware.
