      The Web is websites (HTML pages served over HTTP, which link to each other via hyperlinks). The Internet is websites plus email, VoIP, IRC, Usenet, bittorrent, game servers, FTP, SSH, and everything else that isn’t a website.

      Or more simply: The internet is just the network. The web is one of the handful of “apps” that run directly using that network. It just also happens to be able to run apps of its own these days and is a pretty “killer” one at that :)
