Web wallet is very close. I've tested a beta and it is very slick. If this rally isn't a result of that it will only add to it.
It can't happen too soon....
Reference from the following link "I have also been playing around with bitshares and buying bitgold and bitsilver. However, bitshares has crashed a couple of times on my computer, and I had to reinstall it and download the entire blockchain again, but I think that they have a light client on the way, which would be great. The great thing about bitshares is that you get yield/interest on your holdings."
