Funny Randomization: Google: Web 2.0?
Here's a randomization from google.isyournewbicycle.com that is obviously untrue, this time about Google (rather than Microsoft):
That's really funny, considering that Gmail was one of the first major Web applications to use AJAX extensively. Google's Calendar, Reader, and Docs services (among many others) also use AJAX as a fundamental part of their inner workings, so it's even funnier in that case.

- Yes, it's a shameless plug for money. A strange thing coming from me, but it supports one of the Web's greatest sites.
- I'm sure you saw this one coming. You know what I want.
- Set yourself up with OpenDNS, the fastest DNS service around! You can also set up shortcuts for frequently visited sites and filter content.
- Download the best multi-protocol IM client I've ever seen! So it crashes once in a while, but it's in active development, so they're definitely working on it. (And really, what program doesn't crash once in a while?)
- Don't let Microsoft push through a redundant, broken standard for office files! Chaos and confusion could ensue!
- This is just in case spam-bots visit this site. Click it to find out more (it only does bad things to email harvesters, don't worry).
Blogged.com says I have to leave its badge here to claim ownership of this site. I can't take it off, apparently. Whatever. What would be nice is linking to my own site's page rather than generic "technology news" listings...
blogarama and Blog Flux have similar, but implied, issues. And why does everyone link me to a generic listing page?!

All I can say is – WOW! Google uses Ajax for the right reasons-Microsoft actually invented the iframe, which is basically the beginning of the technology, but left it up to Jesse James Garrett and the rest of the open source guys to improve it. Years later, when the technology term AJAX gets popularly coined and Microsoft wants a piece of the action, they go crying back to Google and the W3C. Heh, leave it to Microsoft to NOT know ANYTHING about their own technologies!! Great Post!!
