AJAXed WordPress has, according to WordPress.org, finally reached over 1000 downloads in the same week. Thank you to everyone who has left the link on their website, or who has helped to promote it.
If you are wondering why the statistics are done through WordPress.org, it is because AJAXed WordPress downloads are hosted in their download repository, and its own page. It doesn’t matter where you download the file from, here or there, you get the latest released version.
What do these numbers mean? It means on a daily basis, AJAXed WordPress is getting almost as many downloads (not hits) as the day with the biggest spike. (The day it was on the front page of Weblog Tools Collection.) It also means that on a daily basis it is getting more hits that Inline AJAX Page ever did. This shows me that the extra work to bring it from the beast that was INAP to AWP was well worth it.
Sobe Life water is presenting a new website http://www.thrillicious.com/ and is using dancing Lizards to do it. I’m partial to reptiles, so this is one of the best commercials I’ve ever seen. Want to see the commercial? Watch it below or go to the website and click on the Super Bowl Ad link.

BrowserCam has long been the best tool for testing websites in a multitude of situations; however, it isn’t free, so its usefulness is limited for people who just want to test a new design quickly: enter BrowserShots.
This free website has most of the features developers will need to test their sites; however, unlike BrowserCam, there seem to be waits of up to 20 minutes for some OS/Browser combinations, so it is better for casual testing to ensure compatibility rather than live tweaking—it does have a detail page to show how long your wait will be. It has a few useful features: all screenshots are of the entire screen instead of a small part and requests are based on the website, so multiple people can view the results without sharing log-ons.
However, the most interesting part is that the software that runs it is freely distributed and you can, optionally, help the project by volunteering to run a screenshot “factory” from your computer that operates in the background while you go about your normal computing business; thus, combining the best things in life: free stuff and being nice to others.
