AOL's AJAX RSS reader
AOL now has their AJAX-based RSS feed reader available for try-out. I am not so sure how viable it is, since it wouldn't let me click "add" after I had selected my feeds for reading (during the initial sign-in). Seemed to be a problem with Firefox ...

AjaxWp - An AJAX enhancement for WordPress blogs
I remember being excited at the AJAX enhancements to WordPress's admin back end with the last major 2.0 update, but what about the front end theme and UI? Unless you either do some digging and find an AJAX'ed theme or build one yourself, your ...
YShout: a PHP + AJAX Shoutbox
I have always wanted to see shoutboxes make their way farther across the internets. Hopefully YShout, and other systems like it, can help blaze the trail. YShout is a slim, powerful and standards-compliant shoutbox built on PHP and AJAX. Stylable ...

An in-depth look at ajaxWrite
The criticisms are, in part, the same problems you find with any web-based application. Namely, keyboard shortcuts
don't always work (or get implemented), browser-specific technology (in this case, Firefox 1.5), and of course some
folks raise ...
Ajax DNS: Quick domain and IP tools
Hopefully when 2006 is over in a couple weeks people will stop putting the word "Ajax" in their web apps' names. I love the things Ajax makes possible, but as a marketing tool it's no longer useful, folks. Regardless, Ajax DNS is a pretty handy ...

Fancy Ajax Google search for your web site
The other day Google launched its AJAX Search API, which lets you put a live Google search box on your web site. I'm not talking about the plain old static search box that everyone's had since the birth of Google; rather as the name implies the new ...

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
