One thing that Ajax has really done to web applications is pushed them much closer to real-time interaction.
For a long time the tradition has been that if you want to code something that deals with real-time data flows, you have to do it with a clunky java applet or embedded flash object.
As we eliminate the barrier between javascript and live internet data, there is no reason that we won’t start seeing pages that are more dynamic not only visually but also have highly dynamic and ‘real-time’ data.
