All I Want For Christmas is AJAX

All I want for Christmas is Ajax
I don't want a tall skinny tree
or lots of presents under it.
All I ask for are some Web 2.0 goodies
that are zipped and not wrapped.
I want PHP and not PAJAMAS.
Give me widgets and not gadgets.
Give me a torrent of flashy de.licio.us gifts that flickr brightly under MySQL clouds.
I want Wiki and not wassel.
I want Christmas feeds and not Christmas food.
I want shareware and freeware and not underwear.
I want my OPML Christmas list to be meta-tagged and checked twice by automated folksonomy-based aggregators exhibiting an emergent Christmas cheer that can be mapped visually and dynamically on my poor and miserable blog that limps along like Tiny Tim on the pathetic crutches of Web 1.0 architecture.
All I want for Christmas is Ajax.
And may God bless us . . everyone.

This is the geekiest thing I have ever read.

And that includes my dilbert collection.

That being said, I have now spent a goodly portion of today researching web 2.0 and the relatively few other terms listed in this lovely little poem.

I, too, have a Christmas wish, and I hope this is a good place to share it: I wish to learn more about the Emerging Church. I left a conversation starter at http://emergingconversation.blogspot.com/.
