Logahead - Next Generation AJAX Weblog
It was inevitable that someone would use web 2.0 social aspects together with an AJAX interaction layer to create a next generation weblog. As usual it took a seventeen year old to do it. Logahead is everything I've been looking for recently in blogging software. It's PHP, MySQL, AJAX, and has several social features.

Introducing DesignDemo - Web 2.0 Design and Interaction Demos
DesignDemo is a constantly updated list and resource of next generation web (web 2.0) interfaces and interaction design. We will show categorized UI elements as well as overall application design. Most design reviews only provide screenshots of the page. When appropriate, DesignDemo will also provide a short demo of the interaction.

The Agile Web Design Manifesto, An Introduction
Co-authored by Max Kiesler and Emily Chang of Ideacodes
On August 20, 1980, Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler were the first to summit Mount Everest without the use of bottled oxygen. They accomplished this amazing feat by doing what no other expedition had ever done. They carried all of their own gear, did no route preparation, and did not use supplemental oxygen. They were successful where others were not, because they approached the problem from a different angle. After years of climbing experience, they recognized that their two greatest assets were agility and improvisation in the face of constant change. This philosophical shift enabled them to not only succeed, but to innovate, while others had attempted only to survive.

Decrease Load Time and Increase ROI in Web 2.0 and AJAX Sites
In this article I'll be explaining the concept behind content encoding and discussing how this issue relates to web 2.0 web and AJAX sites. Next, I'll be showing some examples of web 2.0 sites that are using this technology and those that are not. I will also do some simple tests with a few of the sites that are not currently using HTTP compression, to show what the benefits would be. Finally, I will give you all the resources you need to need to implement content encoding on your own website.

Downloadable Web 2.0 and AJAX Widgets
It seems as though every other day a new web 2.0 or AJAX widget comes to the attention of del.icio.us or Google.
Many user interface elements lend themselves to being "ajaxified". Calendars, image galleries, contact forms and auto-complete search functions are currently very popular. The problem is how to find working and downloadable examples.

Mobile and Device Connectivity - Entrepreneur27 Technology Symposium Final Thoughts
Can your website connect to every mobile device or to your company's live inventory system? How about your customer's neural network? After thinking about what I saw yesterday at Stanford with the nine entrepreneur's under the age of 27, I was struck with the percentage of applications that were connected in some way to another device. Last year I saw Howard Rheingold at SXSW and he spoke about cell phones being the most prevalent computing device. Think about it. As Rheingold pointed out, "do you see more computers of cell phones?"

Blummy Your Social Web
Currently my browser toolbar is full! I have so many bookmarklets that in order to use my toolbar bookmarks I have to scroll to the left to see most of them. Why is this? I have four weblogs and subscribe to at least ten social software and bookmarking sites like del.icio.us, flickr, and blinklist. While I love the idea of bookmarklets and they save me lots of time I currently have bookmarklet overload. Finally, someone has come up with an intelligent and easy to use solution using AJAX.
