  1. SVG is extremely cool by robj · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We implemented an interactive drag-and-drop drawing tool using the Adobe SVG plugin. It's frankly amazing to drag things around as though you were in Visio (connection points and all), yet to be doing it just by updating the DOM of the drawing itself. Developing with SVG is incredibly fast.

    SVG is enormously more useful than many realize. It's also one of those technologies that's not going away... it'll take a while for everyone to learn just how good it is, but once they do, watch out!

    Cheers!
