looks interesting, but my "buzz word" siren has gone off and is telling me "uh oh, another chap trying to stake a clame in Web 2.0 like the bloke from Rails or everyone trying to copy myspace and youtube or the people who put AJAX into everything even when it's unnecessary, etc"

AJAX is cool enough, and useful in it's required doses, but i'm very sceptical these days of stuff like this.

i had a quick look around, but couldnt find a demo?

cheers for the link

Guess it can't be a buzz word then.

I seems pretty good, but since there isn't really support for it by the browsers there is not much use of it.
