VC Dan Grossman picks his Top ten Ajax applications:

“Following are my picks for the 10 best Ajax applications. Selection criteria: (1) an appropriate combination of simplicity and rich functionality, (2) somehow compelling (hard to define, but I know it when I see it), (3) the more interactive, the better, and (4) free. Also, in this exercise, I’m focused on startups, so I’m not including anything from Google (maps, Suggest), Microsoft (Kahuna), or Yahoo (Flickr).”

and folled up with 12 more “Ajax gems that are worth checking out”.

I was not familiar with most of these and it’s darned interesting to see what people are doing.
