I've been thinking for a while,  how I could put a summary of my news feed on a mobile version of my website.

I figured I'd have a go at doing this using AJAX.   AJAX is the bread and butter (so they tell me) of WEB 2.0.    Wikipedia gives a nice AJAX overview at -

Windows Mobile 6, is marketed as supporting AJAX technology but reading this article from the IE Mobile Blog (thanks Steve Meredith), it seems like it has been supported for a while -

So what I was trying to-do is build a web-page that lets a mobile user quickly run through my latest new posts.   What better way than having AJAX automatically pull the news articles as the user scrolls through a summary of articles.

So here's the results

Try it yourself at my mobile home page at

or of course just point your mobile device at

If you do a view source on the page you can see how it works.   I'll walk through the code next time.
