The growing popularity of interactive Web sites has set off a race among software companies, each pitching their own development toolkit.

Among these is Sun, which on Tuesday released Java Studio Creator 2, a free tool for building Web applications that promises to speed up AJAX-style development. IBM is getting into the fray too, with an announcement expected next week of its plans for selling tools that tap AJAX and for building a community of developers around these.

The term AJAX was coined last February to describe a combination of Web technologies, including JavaScript and XML. More and more developers are using these grouped tools to add interactivity to Web sites and to do away with the limitations of the first generation of browsers.

I wonder, who needs .asia domain? I cannot imagine, what would be useful for Microsoft.asia? Toyota.asia? Then let's register .europe (if .eu is too short). Or perhaps Microsoft.southamerica, Dell.australiaandnewzealand, Coca-Cola.africa... Sound funny? Then why not just use the global and country domains? Or perhaps it is time to drop the domains at all?
