One of the key “trends we’re watching in 2005” is the rise of Rich Internet Applications. I think that Jesse James Garrett’s recent article “Ajax: A New Approach To Web Applications” will really help build the momentum behind the movement. Particularly because he’s introduced a new buzzword to describe things like “Gmail” and “Flickr”. He says these applications are built on “Ajax” (Asynchronous JavaScript + XML).

This is a topic to watch as “everyone is talking about it”.
