In keeping with our passion for “Building Better Web Sites Together, For A Better World”, Cre8asiteforums has launched its second new forum today. This one is called Cre8tive Tomorrow and is sure to be “geek heaven”.
Our moderator, Pierre Far, leads the way on this journey. He writes,
Only a few short years ago, very few people have heard of AJAX and the promise it brought with it. In the time between its inception and wide-spread adoption, we saw many great failures and many great examples of how to implement AJAX. It seems that the trajectory AJAX followed was filled with more trials and errors than simple successes.
And now, we seem to be on the cusp of another major disruption in how we code and interact with websites. To take a few examples, we have the all too common APIs that developers can tap into to get hold of interesting data. We have new services gaining prominence like the Amazon Web Services (AWS) collection like S3 and EC2. These days, building scalable and highly-available websites is more about simply choosing to do so than anything else.
On top of this, we have a new set of technologies now, beyond traditional Javascript and HTML, like Microsoft’s Silverlight and Adobe’s FLEX. Silverlight 1.0 was released a few months ago and version 2 is on the way with a massively increased functionality. Both promise a much richer and interactive web experience.
Not to mention Google’s Android, Gears, OpenSocial, and of course, the hot topic of 2007: Facebook apps.
We look to the future and invite you join us.



Congrats on another bold move. Yikes, I can hardly stay ahead of the past let alone zoom into the future but will drop in to see what’s up. I’m still waiting on the video wrist watch and the flying car everyone talked about when I was a kid.

Oh very cool. Definatly going to be getting in on that forum. I wish Google would hurry up a bit in getting Open Social Up and Running.

An excellent idea. Talking about future trends is fun, especially in a social setting where they can be analyzed by a group of people in the industry. I look forward to participating.
