M$ released AJAX.Net earlier this week. It was called Atlas earlier.
Pototype,Dojo, Scriptaculous have been around for some time now and have large user base.
This may be Microsoft’s attempt to make Enterprises sing the Ajax song.
Will be worth watching the adoption rate of this framework
I was trying to make a page XHTML compatible when this message came up
Line 32 column 185: non SGML character number 146.I got 22 such errors.
MS Word was the culprit. The content for the page came from a doc typed by someone – God knows whom . I saved the doc as .txt and the the errors indicated by the XHTML validator turned into question marks.
Fixed them and the page is now
😀
Was reading some stuff on how Ajax can pull down your Search Engine rankings. More than the rankings , its the change in Page View model that adds a lot of confusion to Web Marketers. Tools like Google Analytics might help to a certain extent for tracking AJAXified sites.
Many big guys are using an smart alternate strategy to display the content using AJAX for supported browsers and in Native form (pages ) to non ajax browsers / spiders.

Was reading a post on Ajaxian about the redesign of the Microsoft homepage
The design looks nice. But they seem to have included some new fancy stuff like the popup divs which seem to have some javascript issues atleast with firefox.
So i opened it in IE. It freezed IE also for a while.
But after a while it was OK in IE.
Real funny pic i came across here
Google is going to join the domain registration bandwagon in a bid to attract more users for its Google Apps for your Domain .
From Google Blog
Well, I’m excited to let you know that we’ve made signing up for Google Apps for Your Domain much easier for those of you that don’t yet have your own domain. We’ve partnered with GoDaddy.com and eNom, two leading domain registration services, to offer domains for $10 per year. And I like the fact that we’re including private registration to protect your personal information.
For now this is available for .com, .net,.org, .biz, and .info domains only.

Slow when handling about a million records
Difficult to track changes
Too many storage engines to pick from
No inbuilt backup strategy
