Oddpost is easily the slickest piece of DHTML I've ever come to touch.

In semi-related news: Bad times spawn great start-ups — "[create Walt Disney] lost an acting job as a movie extra and started his cartoon company in a Hollywood garage. The timing: the 1923-24 recession. Last month, Ethan Diamond and Iain Lamb launched their San Francisco dot-com amid another recession. They had quit a tech firm that took an unappealing turn. Crazy? Not really. Sixteen of the 30 corporations in the Dow Jones industrial average trace their birth to recessions."

Die Slickness sollte aber nicht über die Sickness des Umstands hinwegtäuschen, wie verdammt schwierig es auch heute noch ist, mit Hilfe von DHTML Applikationen auf dem Niveau von Oddpost zu schreiben (wobei Oddpost zudem auf eine Plattform beschränkt ist). Vielleicht wird TIBET oder TIBET-artiges einst helfen.
