Another things to note (sadly it lacks a cleaner name): JPSpan. A tool to use to implement the Ajax concept with PHP and JavaScript. Part of the process mind you.
Posted by TheIdeaMan at April 5, 2005 04:07 PM | TrackBackYou’ve probably seen PPK’s linkdump on Ajax. I think I share his suspicion that Ajax sounds like “DHTML” in being an over-hyped “catch-all term for a collection of vague concepts.”

Thanks for the lead. I actually hadn't seen that. i saw the first Ajax link (to Garrett's article) on PPK's site, but somehow missed the link dump.
I think he's right in many ways. It is about 60% promise and 40% hype right now. He's definitely right about the optional use of XML. I hadn't studied the Google products. However, I did realize that XML was likely optional because of my previous reads on JPSpan.
All in all I think the idea definitely has merit.
Your thoughts?
