Lucid Tech Reporting from FT.com
Ajax, a program that allows users to send a message, an e-mail or to post a comment on their friends’ pages without having to open a new browser window.
Actually, the rest of the article is pretty good and I know reporters struggle with geeky details like explaining AJAX, but “new browser window[s]”?
You can see where the reporter got this info but was in over his technical head:
Facebook was quick to embrace Ajax but MySpace did not follow suit, partly because to do so would have reduced the number of page views the site generated and therefore its advertising revenue. “It would take five steps to post a comment or send a message, so five different pages would open,” explains another former executive.
“Different pages would open” = new browser windows huh?

I love you Olympia
Something Tish told me while we were walking along the Seine, second night in Paris
Look, no pressure, but when you find a girl who says stuff like this you marry her, and fast.
“I’m going to tell you the real reason why I wanted to come here. It’s complicated. But there’s a guy. I’ve been planning this for a really, really long time. Since Boston, since I was 19. He’s here in Paris this week. I know this for a fact. And if you help me, if everything goes as planned—I’m going to punch him in the face.”
Lorem Ipsum
Isn’t it about time that designers shut up about clients being stupid for being freaked out by Lorem Ipsum? The shocking truth: Only other designers know what that is or why you do it. Enough stories about dumb clients not getting it thanks.
I had a client review a design, and all the textarea’s were filled with ‘Lorem Ipsum’. Reply: It looks good, but we don’t understand it.
Me: What don’t you understand?
Reply: The text. What language is that anyway?
Me: It doesn’t mean anything, it’s to fill up the textareas. Just focus on the design, not the content.
Reply, after a day or two: Could you please type the text from our brochure in there, we can’t review the site in a foreign language.
