I’d like to say "Happy New Year" to all of my readers before I get into the details of my AjaxNinja’s new look!
New Theme: Modified ProSense
The first major change I made was taking Dosh Dosh’s AdSense-ready "ProSense" WordPress theme and modifying it to suit AjaxNinja’s needs. I didn’t want the theme to look EXACTLY like [...]

In Mid-October I wrote about the idea of a “Web 2.0 Middleware,” a technology capable of eliminating the “platform dependency issue” for developers who are interested in developing applications to serve social networks. Within a couple of weeks of my first article Google announced OpenSocial, which, by the sound of it, is more or less [...]

If you’ve ever read the about page on AjaxNinja.com you’d know that I’m graduating from Vanderbilt University this semester and I’m looking to join a hot Silicon Valley startup in the Summer of 2008 upon my graduation in May. I’ve decided to go ahead and profile some interesting startups in Silicon Valley that don’t receive [...]

An article appeared on Mashable last week disclosing some of the details about Bebo’s new Open Application Platform; a subsequent article revealed that Bebo’s platform supposedly supports the entire F8 Platform, including FBML. Since Mashable is incapable of actually linking to the actual article that it covered, or anything other than other unintelligble Mashable articles, [...]

It’s about time that AjaxNinja got its own unique theme and design; I simply have not had the time nor the desire to poke around in the PHP code and make the necessary changes myself.
I’m looking for a brave WP Theme designer out there who’s willing to cook up a unique theme for AjaxNinja, for [...]

Google has conducted a lot of business transactions lately that didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me, initially.
Here’s a quick list of some of Google’s recent key acquisitions, in no particular order.

In October, 2007 they acquired Jaiku, a Twitter clone, for $30 million dollars. (I liked the Uncov article better than the TechCrunch/Mashable [...]

Alright, as promised, it’s time for me to reveal my first published Facebook application: ADOOGA Contest of the Day. I’ve started several applications and built many of them to 90% completion, but Vanderbilt’s coursework usually found a way to interfere with my production schedule and forced me to table release until later.
The last 10% [...]

I spend a lot of time reading blog entries on the subject of Web 2.0 and business activities related to Web 2.0 every day; I read them before I even check out the latest headlines on Drudge. All-too-often I come across some headlines on TechCrunch, Mashable, ReadWriteWeb, and, to my ever-lasting surprise and disgust, VentureBeat [...]

Time to make good on my promise for some new Facebook-related content this week.
I’ve spent the past two weeks grinding away on an Facebook.NET-powered Facebook application that relies on the FBML approach for user interfaces and it’s finally finished.
Over the next couple of weeks I’m going to share some wisdom I accrued during the course [...]

I apologize for the lack of updates; I just published a new Facebook application for a client this afternoon and it’s been a long, tough process of debugging, hacking, debugging, hacking and so on. I’ll write a post about it if I get the green light from my client.
I’ll have a few bigger posts up [...]
