AJAX would allow for live data correction and suggestion, all without navigating away from a single page. Could also be extended as a dynamic student workflow as well, transitioning the student automatically to registration and financial aid. Would make for a much lighter, efficient and usable web application. But due to the complexity of implementing such an application, I still think blogs, wikis, and related syndicated services are the best bang for the buck for most Admissions departments. Not to mention many Admissions websites have existing work required in terms of accessibility, compliance, and standardized coding conventions that needs to be addressed first.

I like the new look of CC. <strong>Here's my question:</strong> Besides blogs, podcasts, vodcasts and really simple syndication, what new technologies do you see heading our direction with regards to Admissions specific Web 2.0 type applications? Thanks for the link. I like the new look of CC.
