Some good Ajax sites

We all have seen the rich creative interactive web applications developed in AJAX (short for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) especially since Google showcased it in Google Maps, Gmail and Google Suggest.

Dan Grossman has put forth a list of top 10 Ajax applications:

1. Kiko. A general purpose online calendar.

2. Backbase’s RSS Reader.

3. Backpack. To do list organizer and simple project management application which includes email and mobile reminders.

4. Writely. Online word processor.

5. Amazon Zuggest. Francis Shanahan’s version of Google Suggest–but for Amazon.

6. TimeTracker. Personal time management tool.

7. Del.icio.us Director. Rich UI for managing your del.icio.us links.

8. Backbase’s Information Portal. A highly interactive aggregation page.

9. Protopage. Another twist on an information portal.

10. Periodic Table of the Elements.

Please post comments on other good Ajax sites.

Site Names

Sabahan.com has this great post on how people choose domain names without even realizing what some of them sound like.

1. A site called ‘Who Represents‘ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is www.whorepresents.com

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at www.expertsexchange.com

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at www.penisland.net

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at www.therapistfinder.com

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales: www.molestationnursery.com

7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always www.ipanywhere.com

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is www.cummingfirst.com
