AJAX effect

Now that we have released the alpha version of our product, I will have some free time to blog ( till the beta release demands me) ...

The technology that has got my vote in the recent days is AJAX ... I am nowadays using meebo.com to chat and it is built out of AJAX ( just by three people, you know ...) Earlier I had aversion towards browser based chatting but AJAX gives a feeling of an App even when I am inside the browser ... This paves way to a lot of promising new ventures - Think of word or excel inside a browser with drag and drop, macros etc ... Take it even further and think of an entire desktop inside a browser ( a feel of Google OS, huh ...)

Yahoo Mail Beta is going to give a feel of outlook to its web based mail ( Does anyone know how can I can be one of these Beta users?) ... and yes, its possible only cos of AJAX ...
