AjaxWrite

A lot of buzz today about AjaxWrite, a new AJAX word processor/text editor announced yesterday. It's all nice and everything, but it killed my browser once I hit save. Not something I'd be too happy about happening if it was a real document that I was trying to save.

It made my Firefox browser eat up 400MB of memory before crashing! It is supposed to be a Firefox only application, but something isn't quite right there yet. The application was slow to load as well, and several people mentioned it wasn't accessible at all.

In short, it's something I will pass on. Good idea though, I love all things that use AJAX in a novel way. This one, isn't quite up to par yet.

Incidentally, isn't AJAX supposed to be uppercased? ajaxWrite is going against that.
