man was i pissed off when you designer types started putting flash splash pages on everything. what a worthless self-centered bullshit trend that was.
otherwise, it is interesting to see what people are coming up with. but don't be fooled. everything that coming out has a lot more to do with public acceptance than technology.
All this 'ajax' stuff was possible 5 years ago and there was actually plenty of it built into some of the bohemoths out there. But the general public wasn't ready for it.
Now, as teachers are fighting to get laptops out of the classroom and internet access has become what having a phone once was, it makes sense to start building smarter sites that are more than just digital brochures.
But keep that interest with a grain of salt. It takes a lot of really bad ideas and poor execution before good ones get a chance.
