We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
O'Reilly's technique is simple: what worked once might work again, and accordingly this weekend on the O'Reilly campus in Sebastopol, CA, various FOOs - as in "Friends Of O'Reilly" - are again camping under the stars at (what else would it be called?) FOO Camp.
Buzzwords du jour will no doubt fly in abundance - "social computing" and "social search" among them. But what, one wonders, are the absolute Top Ten buzzwords or phrases being muttered over the camp fire at FOO Camp this year? Any guesses as to the complete list?
Who knows maybe Tim himself - or one of the 200 or so FOO campers with an ear for neologisms - will post live from the camp and tell us the correct answer?

AJAX SUX.
Javascript is the number 1 culprit of popup ads, browser hijackers, virus infectors, pop unders, browser crashes, hangs, gaudy annoying banner advertisements, flashing blinking ad-rotators, dumb rollover buttons, forms that don't work, ONLOAD crap, window resizers, dorky little mouse pointer trails that look like little bouncing balls following your little mousie all around like a junior high school myspace page caliber web programmer, stupid little purple scrollbars, incompatible browsers, exploit hooks, automatic download links that don't work, etc etc.
In fact, there is now a world wide movement to get RID OF JAVASCRIPT. Javascript is on its way out. People are already annoyed with it and are boycotting sites and advertisers that use Javascript and they are preferring sites that use normal standard HTML.
any websites that continute to use Javascript are dumped and nobody visits them and those companies using gratuitous and unnecessary Javascript on their sites are blacklisted. Form buttons, form validators, anything. Any programmer using Javascript = Loser.
