this seriously needs to catch on, AJAX chat while browsing forums

[pyrois]

saw this in another forum, best use of AJAX I've seen outside of google apps, let's you chat with other ATers while browsing anandtech forums. I'd really like to see this catch on, it'd be nice to meet the other people in the forums.

hey.. you changed your Icon. But still could be spamming...

 

[tfinch2]

What's the point of even having the forums if you are just going to chat?

 

[bootymac]

New member with only 1 post, and he's linking us to something...

I'll get the pitchforks!

[pyrois]

[Yossarian]

[ElFenix]

AJAX = Asynchronous Javascript And XML, cutesy term started by adaptive path, but think of a better one and get people to use it I thought anandtech people were up to date with this stuff

 

[EvilYoda]

a lot of us know what AJAX is, we're just wary of your postcount and therefore discount anything you say before you say it.

 

[surreal1221]

irc server?

[pyrois]

great, I know, I'll spam up new threads with posts about how illegitimate new posters are until I get my post count up Wow, normally I'm a really nice guy. Forums like these bring out the worst in people eh?

Ajax IS a stupid acronym, but it's cool technology. Google and Flickr are doing pretty cool stuff with it.

finally a legitimate response

it's too bad that AJAX was the first term that caught on, but I guess everybody was tired of saying 'rich internet application'

Although it's spreading. I see little bits of Ajax everywhere. Yahoo 360 uses it, heck even banana republic uses it

 

[FungusFeet]

Just tried it, pretty cool.
:thumbsdown: to frames though.
