If it was rather harmless-looking with small body and very long fragile legs, it would be one called a Harvestman I think

Impossible to say with any certainty. Orb type webs (a la Charlotte's Web) will often vibrate when touched, but this is due to tension in the design of the web, rather than action taken by the spider. However, there are thousands of species of spiders which build this type of web, and positive ID would require photographic evidence.
