If you\u2019re interested in gaining further insight into the many facets of Ajax (see my post about Ajax from Feb 05<\/a>), there\u2019s a wiki<\/a> with conference notes and perspective from Adaptive Path<\/a>\u2018s User Experience Conference held last week in Washington D.C.<\/p>\n

To understand the primary differentiators of Ajax, see the notes and examples (at the bottom of the page) from Jesse James Garrett<\/a>\u2018s Introduction to Ajax\/New Web Technology<\/a>.\u00a0 Having already seen the openrico<\/a> and protopage<\/a> samples previously, I particularly like Andrew Sullivan\u2019s periodic table example<\/a> and can\u2019t wait to try JohnVey.com\u2019s del.icio.us direc.tor<\/a>.\u00a0 Of course there\u2019s a good deal of buzz about Adaptive Path\u2019s own product called Measure Map<\/a>, which is designed by Jeff Veen<\/a> and purported to be a hosted \u201ctool for bloggers to better track traffic to their site.\u201d I heard about this last week and plan to write a post about what I would like to see in a tool to help measure traffic, given that I\u2019m currently using two stat programs, a gVisit map<\/a>, four blog readers (online and installed), pinging ten blog hosts, tagging for technorati, checking views at flickr, and the list goes on.\u00a0 A consolidated measure tool that would allow me to track my outgoing activity (tagging and cross-linking) and my incoming traffic (RSS readers, inbound links, google searches, technorati, bloglines and other readers, and so on) would be both a welcome time-saver, and as important, it would hopefully give me a more holistic view of \u201cmyself\u201d (my content) and its \u201clife\u201d on the web.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also wondering how long it will take for someone to to make a Flickr<\/a>-compatible Ajax gallery for your blog.\u00a0 There are already a mix of tools to manage photos between your desktop and your blog or Flickr.\u00a0 I just came across the FlickrExport<\/a> which will export from iPhoto to Flickr and there\u2019s Photon<\/a> (enables automatic creation and upload of images and thumbnails, plus configurable export of all photo data directly to a Movable Type blog) which Doug Bowman used for his Movable Type photo templates<\/a>.\u00a0 It would be ideal to have one management layer that would allow me to push selected content from iPhoto to both my blog and flickr at the same time, with the ability to sort, tag, organize, edit, share, publish, or archive.\u00a0 The other key factor for me is where the physical photos are stored.\u00a0 Ideally, there would only be one copy of each photo on one server, rather than at my photo blog, at flickr, and my other blogs.<\/p>\n

For me, the promise of a \u201cnew\u201d web technology is the ability to 1) simplify my life as a blogger\/web publisher\/content producer and 2) to enable my site visitors to have greater control over the manner in which they view both my site content and the means by which the content comes to them (via my site, RSS, email newsletter, etc).<\/p>\n

When I see current Ajax samples, I am both reminded of how far we have come from simple HTML hypertext pages to today\u2019s possibilities, and it\u2019s also an awareness of how young the internet really is.\u00a0 While the terms have changed, the goal remains the same:\u00a0 on the one hand, to deliver vast amounts of information efficiently, and on the other, to manage our ever-expanding network of information sources and relationships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
