This will be easier to assess when we know more: would the team behind this care to write an article for Dion Hinchcliffe's AJAXWorld Magazine? He can be easily reached, just Google him.

What's Spreading "the AJAX Wildfire"?

Could it possibly be AJAXWorld Magazine??? Considering that an "anonyomous reader" writes this summary, maybe they indulged some shameless self-promotion using little popular web sites like /.

eh, I could be wrong, tho. I just sick of hearing the word AJAX. By my 5 years (yes, 5 years) in this mashed up set of technologies we now call AJAX, I learned that it's no silver bullet. Bandwidth is the number one issue, because AJAX can suck your bandwidth dry if done wrong. Passing XML back and forth sucks just as bad, because you have to tear-apart, process, and reguritate. Quirky clients, especially ones that have proxies and pop-up blockers, is the bane of any application that uses AJAX. Geez, I am giving myself a headache.
