The first killer app was not really an app, it was the technology that allowed the internet to grow from a loosely related group of servers to a homogenous network.

To the user, it would have been the "@" mark.

Before the "@" mark, you had to know how to get an email to its recipient hop-by-hop. You had to know what major servers existed between you and them, and tell the mail client to send it via that path (Google "bang paths"). If a server went away, your email never reached its target.

After the @ mark, collarboration and communication became easier.

Hand in hand with that goes the DNS system, where easily remembered names substituted for the IP addresses that sometimes had to change.

Hurray for the killer AT!

What was the first 'killer application'?

When the phrase 'killer app' was coined, it refered to finding the next killer app. It considered the previous killer app to be email. It was considered a killer app because it was quickly ubiquitous. However you asked what the first killer application was... I don't think that question is as easily answered because different people have different opinions. One might say that the Mosaic browser was the first killer app, but there could still be more before that, like Lotus 123. In general, Email was the first killer app to be called a killer app!
