Der Google'sche Jahresendzeitgeist 2006 ist da.

But ... what the heck is bebo?

Sehr amüsant die Kategorie Hot:

how to levitate (6; if you find out, lemme know too!),
define web 2.0 (2!),
what is hezbollah (1; heck, would I like to see the prittnogram for that), what is ajax (6).

Wer nach adäquat intensivem Studium immer noch im Besitz grösserer Mengen Listenlust sein sollte, dem wird beim hackrde in mannigfaltiger Weise geholfen:

Beispielsweise mit einer erstaunlich umfangreichen Liste ungarischer Videosharingservices, Y!'/MSN'schen Klongeistern sowie den delgerankten Deutschzweinulltopfünfzig.

Simon Willison: "If you just want a light-weight format for moving data around, JSON fits the bill admirably."

XML-RPC got killed (essentially) by the perception that SOAP was the Real Thing To Come; that episode should certainly find its way into the Official Handbook on Vaporware, Uncertainty and Doubt in due time.

So, to recap, what does JSON lack that XML-RPC has? A specified date datatype (pretty useful in those days when almost everything has some kind of temporal affinity), a binary data type (probably should be handled out-of-band anyway) and booleans (mkay). JSON, on the other hand, has nulls (killer feature). Error codes are not a data model concern and are rightly handled by JSON-RPC (spec). Gotta dig regarding charset issues.

"IT'S NOT EVEN XML!" — Instant classic.
