Re: [backstage] Joost anyone?
Hi Robert, I'm on the joost waiting list, but really itching to try it out. If you've still got a spare invite, I'd be most gracious.

RE: [backstage] Web2.0 - tennets, rules, development philosophy... I'd love you to give us some feedback

XMLHTTP was invented by Microsoft for Outlook Web Access 2000. eBay launched its API in November 2000, Amazon launched their web services in 2002, and I remember mash-ups being created back then - e.g. Amazon Light. So this second (perhaps more, who knows, my memory's not great either :) ) wave, or whatever you want to call it, isn't exactly new technology, it's just http://www.eod.com/devil/archive/web_20.html Yes, Web 2.0 is just a cheesey marketing phrase at the end of the day. And as much as I hate it, I do think it does help to mark a milestone in the way the web is being used now, how it has changed, and the direction it's heading. True, none of these's technologies are new. They did not appear on the same morning Web 2.0 was dreamt up. But I think they have definately become more main stream in recent times, and understood by a wider audience of non-techies. Or you find that (not with all sites by any means, but a fair few) your back button stops working, or it just plain doesn't work... http://www.eod.com/devil/archive/ajax.html Use of AJAX should be like any other - if it's not supported by the users browser it should fall back to a supported technology, and if it breaks things, then it should not be used. Examples, digg.com, So why that, and not slashdot? Slashdot has user submitted stories, sophisticated comments, and so on. It even has rounded corners! Sorry, I just like digg. I think it's because of their heavy use of AJAX ;) Phil - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
