Let’s take a moment of silence in honor of our old friend, Oddpost.com. The power was shut down to the servers today. Most of the code lives on in the new Yahoo Mail Beta. We will, none the less, miss our old friend.
To me, the acquisition of Oddpost to me represents the opening shots of Web 2.0. It’s kinda like the Gulf of Tonkin was to Vietnam. Back then, Ajax wasn’t even a word. A few months later, Google Maps was launched, and I think that event really caused the explosion of interest in rich web clients that we are all still feeling today.
