Why Ajax Sucks (Most of the Time)

Article discusses the inherent problems of using the overhyped Ajax in web design:

Quote:Fundamental Problems with ajax

Ajax breaks the unified model of the Web and introduce a new way of looking at data that has not been well integrated into the other aspects of the Web. With ajax, the user's view of information on the screen is now determined by a sequence of navigation actions rather than a single navigation action.

Navigation does not work with ajax since the unit of navigation is different from the unit of view...

Article also discusses other problems with implementing Ajax including: URL problems, search problems, browser problems, print problems, authoring problems, and more.
