I had written this draft and had checked for typos but not for grammatical mistakes. Now I realise that an important article will affect readers. So the next time, Ill take care about checking for them as well. Thanks Captain Internet for your important suggestion.

I think it is also important to acknowledge the increased internet connection speed across many website users. back in Dial-up world, AJAX would not work at all. Now just about everyone has DSL, making AJAX more of a practical reality." Um, no, just the opposite. You see the idea behind AJAX is minimalism. It is sending and retrieving very small amounts of data and updating only the necessary components of a website. “Great story.

"Ajax" gained acceptance as a label for the use of certain, pre-existing, technologies in the way and for the purposes they were implemented. Ajax is the term people embraced to describe what they were already doing. It's also worth noting that using XMLHTTP via JavaScript in a web page is a poorman's XMLRPC. There are other ways to do the same thing - e.g. clever use of IFRAMEs - but XmlHttpRequest/Msxml.XMLHTTP takes some of the work out of it. Ajax doesn't give us anything new, apart from a term to describe a process. So Ajax isn't <i>a</i> technology, but it is <a href='http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/technology' rel="nofollow">technology</a>.
