Ted Goddard is the senior architect of the ICEfaces AJAX framework. Following a Ph.D. in mathematics, he proceeded with postdoctoral research in component and Web-based collaborative technologies. He currently participates in the JavaServer Faces and Servlet expert groups.
The network effect is the impetus behind today's software platforms, but a
balance must be struck between homogeneous vulnerability and fractured
inefficiency. Comparing J2EE to .NET shows clear advantages for J2EE through
vendor diversity, portability, standardization community, educational
opportunity, language commonality, and security. .NET's attempt to replicate
J2EE is shallow, providing technological similarity in a disconnected and
proprietary package.
Broadly speaking, the network effect is the growth experienced by networks
due to the feedback loop induced by the increasing value of joining a growing
network. Consider fax technology. It has been successful because the network
of fax machines, connected by the telephone system, communicates reliably -

If you Google "AJAX Web 2.0" you'll get over eight million hits, but what
technologies will you find in that mix that can truly deliver on the promises
of Web 2.0 today? While there's no single definition of Web 2.0, at its heart
lays the Internet acting as a platform for social networks, where information
can be created and shared in a community of interest. Rich Internet
