Good rich Internet application thoughts on the Curl blog

I've been following the Curl developer blog a lot more closely since Marc Orchant started working there and I wanted to point it out because while they obviously talk a lot about Curl, I've also been impressed with their posts on rich Internet applications in general. There aren't enough blogs out there that break down the theory behind RIAs. There's a lot of hype-buzz in the tech blogs about Adobe vs. Microsoft but I think we're lacking a good conversation about what RIAs are, what they should be and how we get there.

I like that the Curl guys are going that route. I'll try to do more of that. I think it's incredibly important to talk about things like web standards, accessibility, interaction design, rich media and developer-designer workflow. All of those are integral parts to the RIA story and it doesn't matter which company is talking. Different ideas lead to better technologies.
