Twitter injects Ajax to stay afresh

Filed in archive AJAX on September 25, 2008

Social networking has added new dimension to the world of internet and there is not a single day when I don't end up on some of the popular networking websites to stay connected with my connections and today when I happened to be on Twitter I witnessed a few changes which gave a facelift to the entire website.

Ajax has been injected into the website and as a result you will notice quicker response time while navigating between different features. Even the visual features have witnessed a change which has made the pages emerge clean without any kind of chaotic effect.

In terms of addition of new features, design customizer has found place on the website which enables users to select between pre designed themes, background and color themes in real time but I feel that the social networking scene is getting crowded day by day and wonder how many of these websites will really be able to create a 'pull' effect in the long run even if they keep on getting a facelift or continue adding complex features for the users!!
