I’ve been playing around with Ajax start pages today. I plan to review the more popular ones for Web Worker Daily or perhaps just write some sort of feature article about using them, but so far I’ve just felt frustrated by them. They are so far from doing what I want.
The three I’m trying so […]

Will Ajax overtake Flash in 2007? More likely, we’ll see a proliferation of web apps and sites that use a combination of Ajax and Flash, as it becomes easier to combine the two and as developers find the best way to use each. We’ll see a bit more Java too in the browser, not necessarily […]

Agreed, the Web 2.0/3.0/whatever-dot-oh is totally overdone. I’m going to change the name of my blog, I’m so tired of it all. Leisa suggested “Anne 2.1.6.” I like that–completely precise and totally meaningless.
Speaking of meaning, I don’t think that what we get from semantic web technologies is shared meaning. What we want from the next […]

Kind of old hat to talk about trying to match up relational data with an object-oriented programming language, huh? Technically, the answer might be using an object-relational mapping capability like Hibernate or TopLink. Maybe iBATIS, does that count as ORM? I think so, based on my quick perusal of the website.
In case you don’t know […]

Honestly, just because some people really like to watch sports on ESPN, does that mean they want ESPN cell phone service? Apparently not. So many companies make the mistake of thinking they should be at the center of our business and personal lives. News flash: I am at the center of my life; your company […]

I’ll be at the Adobe Max conference in Las Vegas tomorrow and Wednesday. I’m looking forward to learning as much as I can about what Adobe’s doing these days, especially in the area of Flash, Adobe’s interactive multimedia format and Flex, Adobe’s solution for developing rich internet applications (RIAs) based around Flash. Adobe has provided […]

What if Salesforce.com were able to create a thriving online enterprise application marketplace with its AppExchange? Now that they’ve announced Apex, it looks like that’s their target.
However, though Salesforce might create a thriving market of Salesforce extensions, they may have little chance of creating a more broad-based online application infrastructure and market. Why? Because of […]

The Office 2.0 conference attracted a monotonous crowd of entrepreneurs, big software vendors, VCs, and IT analysts focused on introducing web-enabled office apps into The Enterprise (a.k.a. organizations with fat wallets). Considering the consumer space is so peculiarly nonprofitable for anyone but Google, who can blame these technophiles for looking to Enteprise 2.0 in its […]

The announcement of TechDirt’s Insight Community shows the possibilities for eBay-like technology analysis marketplaces. TechDirt’s offering gathers together a group of curated bloggers who offer anonymous responses to companies that want feedback on specific issues. The companies as well remain anonymous, in a double blind setup that protects competitive intelligence and the blogger’s reputation at […]

When I proposed podcast jam six weeks ago, I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into. This project has overrun my life and my hard drive. I have podcasts everywhere.
Next week I’ll write up lessons learned after I dig myself out from under all the work that’s landed on my desk since the […]
