Google Finance: Ajax in real world

Anil
I was pleasantly surprised to see ajax in the real world. I am sure you have gone through stock search challenges in various finance portals... check out Google Finance simplified usability feature.

Yep... once again ajax. It won't be a exaggerating if i say... you just can't live without ajax these days -))

Will the web become the computing platform? Google Spreadsheets, Google Video, what next... Google Powerpoint, Google Office, Google Personal Database on the web... if you think outside the box...-))
