The way the web is moving.....

Few days back Yahoo! acquired a small firm OddPost. The firm had an email service with interface just like Outlook Express. And yes it was better than Yahoo! ( PC Magazine Reviews).

Well this brings about a new twist in how web applications are desinged!

More and more sites are adding up interactivity to their webpages. The new Yahoo! look, where you can just change the theme how yahoo looks just by a click.
Even GMail uses a whole lot of Javascript code for its web interface.

The future should now see more and more code written to make things dynamic. With Mozilla (Firefox) eating up the IE share it is more obvious that Javascript will be more in use than other contempararies like vbscript (This should be the case especially for public domain pages).
