usb webkeyA web key is not a USB flash drive, though it may look like one, and it also connects into the USB port of a computer. That is where the similarity ends, however. A web key has no accessible memory. It does have a very small memory, but only enough to hold information about a web site so it can launch the computer’s default web browser and connect to the web site it has been programmed to open.

A web key can be very cheap to purchase, which makes them ideal for giveaway promotional items at trade shows or by direct mail. A USB flash drive can be used in exactly the same way as a web key, but it is usually much more expensive to buy, making it unsuitable for the same kind of inexpensive promotional use.
