Top 10 Ajax Applications
1. Kiko. A general purpose online calendar. Elegant interface and design. API coming soon.
2. Backbase’s RSS Reader. Only a demo, so you can’t add your own feeds. Still, very nice.
3. Backpack. To do list organizer and simple project management application. Includes email and mobile reminders.
4. Writely. Online word processor. A bit rough around the edges (you can’t save in MSF T Word format, for example) but still feels like a real application. Update: per Sam Schillace @ Writely, you can export in Word format (ed: sorry for missing this). Also, API and blog publishing features coming soon.
5. Amazon Zuggest. Francis Shanahan’s version of Google Suggest–but for Amazon.
6. TimeTracker. Personal time management tool.
7. Del.icio.us Director. Rich UI for managing your del.icio.us links.
8. Backbase’s Information Portal. A highly interactive aggregation page.
9. Protopage. Another twist on an information portal.
10. Periodic Table of the Elements. The next must-have for high school chemistry students?
List of All Services that google offers at this moment.
- Blogger is Google’s blog-hosting and creation service which seems to be very popular on the web because of the price (free) and ease of use.
- Froogle is Google’s product search engine that you can use to find the cheapest price for a product.
- GMail (or Google Mail) is Google’s popular email service, that gives you over 2 gigabytes of storage.
- Google AdSense is Google’s contextual advertising service, popular among many websites. Google also released Onsite Advertiser Sign-Up on November 21, 2005 which lets advertisers buy ads on a site directly from the Google Ads on that page.
- Google AdWords is the other side of AdSense. While AdSense lets publishers put ads on their site, someone has to pay for those ads, and AdWords connects companies with publishers so you can make a little bit of money.
- Google Alerts are e-mail updates to particular searches you do on Google. Pretty useful for monitoring websites or news.
- Google Analytics crawls your website and keeps track of your visitors through a small piece of Javascript. Great tool for webmasters trying to improve their stats and AdSense revenue.
