wikiCalc ... and interesting example I downloaded wikiCalc today and began to play with it.  It reminds a lot of Radio Userland ... wikiCalc is an application that installs on your desktop and then uses a browser for the UI.  It appears to be using AJAX for a lot of the interaction, and has an interesting publishing architecture. I really like to see more and more applications like this.  I believe that they represent an interesting intersection of client and server ... leveraging the power of the desktop, while allowing for remote access.  I simply point my browser at a "server" - running on my local machine, or a remote machine - and I am presented with a flexible UI that contains rich AJAX functionality. I like it! [tags: wiki ajax wikicalc applications software] 10:25:25 PM
