Cool Ajax Video Player...

Cool Ajax Video Player! Check it out! But only if your running Firefox?

Ajaxian, an online Ajax blog, posted a blog this morning on an Ajax Video player. Check it out!

While it may be cool to develop a video player in Ajax, it only works in Firefox. Whats with that? So, all those articles we see posted about what NOT to do with Ajax didn't mean anything to these guys. Come on, why would you develop something that can only be used by about 10% of the internet users? If were going to create all these really cool Ajax apps let's make sure they work for everyone. The rest of the BIG companies may not care what standards they follow, or what works with what, but at least those of us that write code can make sure what we do works for the majority users.

If you like to see the video player you can find it at The Morning Outline.

We've heard claims before and then nothing works they way they said it would. We'll see....
