Interesting article here on the psychology behind Facebook. Whilst my opinion may differ from the article, it is an interesting read none the less.

AJAX things
AJAX and Web2.0
Easy to say but not always easy to figure out or explain. I think we need to make it more simple. To that end, we are going to be building up a library of AJAX/Web2.0 'thingys' to make our sites better.
Examples would be:
Calendar that updates on click without refreshing the page
Image swapping without refresh
Postcode lookups
Collapsing/Hiding forms (yes, we did this one!)
Each time we see one we like it should be logged here and we'll work towards building something similar that we can easily re-use and re-brand. Web2.0 - it's all about enabling. :-)
