OPINION
Why Ajax Is So Disruptive
01/19/2006, By Dion Hinchcliffe

Yesterday I wrote an invited response in the Ajax Developer's Journal to Jeffrey Zeldman's off-kilter but widely read (i.e. Slashdotted) take on Web 2.0. In it I claimed Zeldman had way too much focus on Ajax as a Web 2.0 ingredient. All these trips around the proverbial mulberry bush while we are witnessing a rapidly growing greater awareness of all things Web 2.0 in the mainstream. Heck, even CIO Magazine has started talking about Web 2.0, which means its really arrived if they think people up in the rareified air of executive management need to know about it at all.

But I assert that Ajax encourages, even enables, software creators down a path that is inherently disruptive to the greater software world.
