Further notes on my TechCrunch50 session

On Tuesday, I was one of the judges for two different sessions at TechCrunch50 : Mobile and Language and Communication Tools . Doing the sessions was kinda fun, and I was glad to be a part—especially alongside Tim O'Reilly, Josh Kopelman, Om Malik, and Rafe Needleman, who co-judged the sessions I was on.

Live from Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is just kicking off in earnest. Seems like perfect timing for such a conference. The feeling of doing things again, but newer and better is in the air -- and lots of folks are ready to play. Notes from Tim and John's talk: " Architecture of Participation ." Love that. End of the Software Upgrade Cycle Example: "Amazon Chat"? iTunes: First app designed from the get-go to span from the handheld to the server "The Power of the Tail: 1 million sites with 1000 users is far larger than 100 sites with a million users (AdSense, Affiliate models, et al" Hmmm... ...I missed some of the themes. Jeff Bezos: Web 2.0: About making the Internet useful for computers. See amazon.com/webservices 65,000 registered Amazon developers Also launched Alexa web services. Sounds interesting. Example app: Scoutpal.com -- a mobile service for people who find books at, say, garage sales that will look up what you could sell them fo

The false choice of Ajax VS. Permalinks

In John Gruber's Stikkit review, he says, "My single biggest complaint about Stikkit is its reliance upon Ajax for so many of its features." Which is a problem because, "The result is that you can click through these features and the location field URL in your browser won?t change. You can have an entire session of reading existing notes and creating new ones, and the page?s URL will never change...." I have to admit that that's one of my nit's with Stikkit so far, as well. However, this isn't a necessary compromise due to using Ajax. For example, check out this completely Ajax interface . Click around and see what happens. In fact, you can even make the back button work, which I didn't get around to doing there. Read this excellent tutorial to see how. I'm sure Rael and the gang will get around to implementing this, and John's single biggest complaint will go away.
