What is the difference between Web application and Web site? Sometimes it looks that it is used interchangeably?
These terms are synonymous. That being said, it is my own experience and understanding that the term Web Application was created/coined for developers who at one time developed Windows/Desktop Applications, who migrated their skill set over to web development. This is prevalent in technologies like ASP.NET, where the development environment and lifecycle closely relates to that of Windows Forms development.
All of that said, you will probably get a different/varying answers based on the background of any individual responding to the question.
