Before one get boredam of the existing webapplications there is some new child pops up and gather users attention, well this time it is not a new one, but a years old, and comes up with example of its potential, Our very old baby which I believed had a great potential is again in limelight.
what it can do?
Try this google suggest beta and type a word and you will see the magic, client actually pushes something in backend and gets data and indeed uses it to give more lively user experience,
This is done using javascript engine, but not the old hack of image loading, as that I believe is already blocked by IE, But it uses XMLHTTPRequest in the background.
But I still really don't know the reason of google, amazon, etc investing in Engines like Ajax than jpspan which a php and Javascript combinations, and also free., Though one clear disadvantage of later one is it limits you to php on server side, which I agree is not really only cool thing out there.
Can anyone add more here?

man ! I just blogged about this too, on ravneetg.blogspot.com
ajax is cool. its nothing new, but getting more coverage now due to google and amazon a9 search engines. I tried 2 samples with both java and .net at server side and same javascript/html on client side. works like a charm. it was a simple source code browser :-) linked to a sql server. more on my blog soon.
