Developer Discussion: What Do You Use For AJAX in PHP?
A quick question with a potentially longer discussion. What do you use for AJAX in PHP, and why?
XAJAX is a simple way to do it, and this is the approach I've been using for some time. In very simple terms, you write PHP methods that can be called from JavaScript by prefixing the method name with xajax_.
Is Twitter Testing Ajax Updates?
In the last two days, a couple of users noticed a new, Ajax-based interface on their Twitter home pages. Apparently, this new interface will allow users to scroll through their timelines without having to refresh the page. This, by itself, would not be a major new feature, but it hints at a larger refresh of Twitter's user interface.
Learning AJAX APIs Made Easier: Google Releases API Playground
Google today released a new tool that will make learning and testing code for Google's Javascript APIs a lot easier. Google's interactive AJAX API Playground gives developers an easy to use interface to write some basic Javascript code for Google's eight Javascript APIs (Maps, Search, Feeds, Calendar, Visualization, Language, Blogger, Libraries, and Earth).
The API Playground will also become Google's official way to show Javascript samples.
Adobe's Ichabod and The Headless Search of Flash
While Adobe Flash has remained popular with Web developers who want to deliver fluid user interfaces, database-driven content, and nonstandard typography on the Web, it has suffered from one glaring shortcoming: search engines have been unable to effectively index the content held within the Flash file.
With Ichabod, Adobe is hoping to fix that problem for Flash. Update: According to a comment from Adobe's John Dowdell, Ichabod only works on Flash, not AJAX as previously reported. Nonetheless, it's still a very important step forward.

This latest addition to Ajaxonomy Labs is a web-based visual tool that makes use of the YouTube API to let you see what people are watching on YouTube right now.
Dividing Time: Web 2.0 Analytics Demo
The page view died as an audience measurement metric last July when Nielsen stopped measuring it. In a world where technologies like AJAX allow web publishers to push new information to pages without refreshing, the amount of time a user spends on a site -- along with the total number of unique users -- has replaced the page view as the most important audience measurement metric. But when so many different things can occur on a single page without a refresh, how can you accurately gauge what a person is doing on a page while they're spending their time on it? Laurent Nicolas has a demo on his web site of a new audience measurement tool that solves some of these problems.
