Web 2.0 site check
I just found this silly judgmental Web 2.0 Validator that rate your site in Web2.0'ness, hehe.... Pluses are using Ruby, Prototype, and including Google Adsense, mentions to del.icio.us and tecnorati ... it's completely pointless, but amusing however ...
Ruby or RoR are not synonymous of Web 2.0, neither are most of the items they point out; getting points for mentioning being on Public Beta and including a Creative Common License, hehe ... some really has too much time on his hands.
Happy birth-day AJAX (a day late ;) )
It's been one year since Jesse James Garret wrote the first article on Ajax, which gave a name to the existing technology and helped it to boom and reach magnitudes and a buzz never imagined by anyone before. It's still taking off, with new magazines, seminars, and articles everywhere.
Sorry, those links were bias :) but it's out there... check out Technorati, iceRocket, and del.icio.us.
