This paper presents the Next Generation Internet Interaction: Thelma which would allow for unobtrusive web based rich interaction using Ajax components in a web browser. Thelma builds on the idea of the Web 2.0 paradigm where the web browser will be the users central work tool. The Thelma system would cut down on the barrier hindering rich interaction and allowing any user with a modern web browser to be able to interact with other users on the Internet and interact with existing e-meeting users. Web site creators would be able to enhance their sites with components for rich interaction as well as be able to create user interfaces to rich meetings online to their own liking.
