The link between AJAX and web 2.0
"AJAX and rich clients are indeed intimately related, contrary to what some people say. And it's not just that they sprang up at the same time, in the same companies, and are therefore associated with each other.
Stewart Butterfield brought this point home at the BayCHI Web 2.0 panel. The following is a transcription from the podcast of the event:
"So there's a movement from just rendering a document in the browser ... to calling lots of tiny little applications that would render parts of a page. One of the interesting things about this kind of UI (which has been popularized under the AJAX moniker). Once you are committed to doing it (and it doesn't really matter if it's AJAX in the sense people normally talk about it, which is javascript driven, or something like this [referring to Flickr], which is Flash) ... you've automatically made a public API." continued ...

Flikr, open to all.
