BBC uses Ajax for new website ...

Since December 2006, I have been enjoying the tech world a lot more than I thought I ever would. What is not to love? Social networking, speedy instant messaging, Vista, the Wii, RSS feeds, building blogs.... I love Ajax

The thing that has continued to impress me over the past six months is Ajax.

Wikipedia: "Ajax (Asynchronous Javascript and XML), is a group of inter-related web development techniques used for creating interactive web applications."

I am pretty sure that most people who use popular sites like Facebook aren aware they are using an Ajax system, or for that matter, really care... and then there is the awesome new BBC site; allowing you to customise your own homepage with whatever BBC content you are most interested in.

I really like the fact Ajax encourages you to move content, style the design and create a site to make it feel like your own. In today is fast paced society the key to success has to personalisation and accessibility.

As you can see from the screen grab to the right, I have gone for news, sport, radio, and music for my main page, with business, the weather and BBC blogs sitting right underneath.
