AJAX Lowers Yahoo! Page Views, Eric Miraglia Explains Why That's Good
The Web is characterized today by applications that are more desktop-like in their interaction patterns. Some, like the new Yahoo! Mail beta, are almost indistinguishable from desktop applications; others, like the new Yahoo! Photos, live more towards the middle of the Web-page/desktop-app continuum. Given the difficulty some very desktop-like web projects have had in achieving a general release (the more desktop-like, the longer the beta), it would appear that there is an emerging 'sweet spot' for web applications. In that sweet spot, Web applications leverage both the modest, powerful richness of which browsers are capable and the incredible strengths and learnabililty of the lightweight, document-oriented Web.
