Cutting Edge - Predictive Fetch with jQuery and the ASP.NET Ajax Library (MSDN Magazine, Feburary 2010 Issue)
Adventures In Authentication | Learn By The Drop: "Facebook Connect, Twitter, and Google Friend Connect all allow you to authenticate users to your site. They require varying degrees of technical expertise to set up and the exact functionality varies too. The good part is that they all seem to excel at verifying the identity of an anonymous visitor to your site, at least temporarily. The bad part is that they really don't fit in with the normal Drupal account creation process. ... The discussion called Social networking accounts: unified approach to store in external account data in user content profiles? covers some of the same issues I mention here and even mentions the fact that there is no module for LinkedIn."

2010 : A New Age For Search Marketers | Search Engine Journal: "What makes this change so important is that the future of search, whether it be Search “2.0″ or Caffeine oriented, is based on much more than the relevancy factors of content, links, queries and relevant infrastructure. This new “Search-o-morphis” brings factors into play which include site usability, site mobility, the presence of the site socially and also more and more offpage factors which go beyond traditional linking."

Design View - Flashy Graphs Sans Flash: "Let me introduce gRaphael -- Raphael's little brother. While 'Raph' is an all-round vector-drawing guy, gRaphael sticks to what he does best: drawing slick, animated, web-based graphs without the need for Flash." & Design View: "I'm sure some are already chorusing, 'What about using Flash?' Without wanting to delve into the time-honored flame wars of the pros and cons of Flash, there's at least one clear reason for preferring Raphaël/SVG. WebKit has very good support for Raphaël, meaning any Raphaël-based effects you create will work seamlessly for the ever-growing iPhone market. Currently, the iPhone, Android OS, and even Palm's groovy new Pre fail to support Flash in any way, and there are a lack of indications that this will change any time soon."
