Free High Quality AJAX Web Services (Web 2 Applications)
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkSaturday, October 22, 2005
Here are some amazing AJAX powered Web Services ranked as I like them. The list includes online word processor, spreadsheet, calendar, wiki and chat client.
TiddlyWiki - An amazing web application. It is “a reusable non-linear personal web notebook”. In plain english it is a wiki which is contained in a single file, doesn’t require any web browser and very usable and functional. I am using to maintain my TODO list. But you can do much more with it.
Writely - Online Word Processor; supports Word and HTML document.
The AJAX provides a fast writing and editing experience that makes it as slick as a desktop application. You can use it to blog too.
NumSum - Online Spreadsheet with ability to use formulas. Import from Excel via cut-n-paste.
Kiko - Sharable draggable event calendar; interactivity of a desktop calendar, with the added convenience of online access.
Meebo - Multi-colored AJAX powered chat client. It allows you to login to your favorite IM services and provides a MDI web client; pretty neat stuff.
Despite my ranking above I think each of them are amazing products in terms of usability and simply the jazz factor.
Thanks to MacMerc via MacManx for pointing me to these applications.

I’ve been trying to blog for around 4 years now, and I finally started last November. I must admit after it was very hard to start me now enjoy every bit of it! |

@MacManx I tend to agree with you now (about Writely), after my initial WOW factor with TiddlyWiki has worn off. in any case it is an wonderful innovation. |
After all I came to know about this applications from you.|

You’re welcome! And, thanks for linking back to me. ^_^ As for the fore-mentioned AJAX services, my favorite is Writely. Mostly because it allows me to periodically work on short stories and research papers whenever inspiration strikes me, as long as I am near a computer with a fairly modern browser. Writely provides the [almost] complete freedom to write when I want and where I want. |
