I was looking through my Google Analytics reports today and found that I was linked from cssnewbie.com. At first I figured it was just a forum post or something but then I found out that an article was written about my CSS Diagnostics code on that website and they mentioned me by name! How exciting!<img src='http://www.nealgrosskopf.com/dev/beacon/image.asp?e=openlinks' height='1' width='1' />]]>

<![CDATA[
From the site "Check out these 25 hand-picked Ajax articles and tutorials that outline various methods and concepts involved in the development of Ajax-based applications."
<br>
For the most part I find AJAX useless mainly for the fact that it's not SEO friendly and it's not accessible content. If you're not using it to drive the main content of your website, then I think it's acceptable in small amounts. Web applications have the greatest use for it.<img src='http://www.nealgrosskopf.com/dev/beacon/image.asp?e=openlinks' height='1' width='1' />]]>

Powerset is a website that allows you to search Wikipedia articles. It then returns results with links to those same articles (on it's own domain). Within the articles it also links to other articles (also on it's domain). In a way it's almost like a new front end and search for the entire Wikipedia site.<img src='http://www.nealgrosskopf.com/dev/beacon/image.asp?e=openlinks' height='1' width='1' />]]>
