I've added a new feature to this blog today. ? Taking advantage of the new Google Custom Search Engine feature, I created a search profile that will look through all of the IBM blogs I have listed in my blogroll at once. ? So if you can't remember if I said something, or maybe it was Ed, or was it Mary Beth, you can now search all our sites at once. ?On the left hand navigator underneath my IBM Blog Roll, you will see a new Google Search box. ? Try it out, and let me know what you think. ? ?You can also access the search engine directly here: ?Search the blogs of IBM Lotus employees.

I've created a similar Google Custom Search that could be used to find information from all the various Lotus Blogger's sites: Search the "Lotus BlogSphere". ?Instead of me alone defining what sites are searched, I've made this one public so others can add their own sites. ? ?So everyone please visit the page and update the list. ?Perhaps people will want to create similar ones dedicated to Sametime, QuickPlace, etc.

I saw Jack in my talk at The Ajax Experience conference yesterday and was happy to see that he wrote it up for TheServerSide.net Abrams on ASP.NET AJAX controls and components I think Jack is picking up on a good point here about AJAX apps having both a client and server sides of AJAX apps… I predict that the next phase of AJAX frameworks will be deeper integration with server side programming models… much the way ASP.NET and the Microsoft AJAX Library work together.

I had a great time at the AJAX Experience Conference today. John Resig did a good talk on choosing the right Ajax framework for you. He laid out four attributes you should use when you judge an Ajax library…. While he didn't mention the Microsoft AJAX Library, I think it stacks up very well in these attributes. Documentation – By this, John means how well is the framework explained, are their great examples? Microsoft Ajax Library has great docs already http://ajax.asp.net/docs/, we have several fulltime User Education folks working everyday to make them better. This include partical walkthroughs such as Installing ASP.NET AJAX and How To: Call a Web Service from JavaScript as well as details such as the JavaScriptSerializer class. Community...(read more)
