If you want to ask what is the most attractive thing to do, it is to create a Web application. After all, when was the last time you heard someone praising the interaction design of a product? They are cool and innovative projects (except the ipod).

Aside from this, web designers have no better way of designing an interactive web than a little envious of our desktop software colleagues. Desktop applications have a rich interface and the ability to respond to Web programs that are unmatched. Similarly, the rapid growth of the web has created a huge gap between the experience we provide and the experience that users get from desktop applications

And now the gap is disappearing. Take a look at "Google suggest". Observe that it displays the update speed of the suggested item as you entered, almost immediately. And look at "Google Maps". Zoom in, move and scroll with your mouse. These actions are almost immediately responsive without waiting for the page to refresh.

"Google suggest" and "Google Maps" are two typical examples of Ajax technologies. Ajax is the abbreviation for asynchronous JavaScript and XML, and it shows a fundamental shift in web development, which is what the Web can do.
