Rich Internet Applications

Here are some links on Rich Internet Applications (RIA) that caught my eye during the past week:

James Breeze is looking for research on RIA usability. He lists some articles on usability, but most of these are fairly old from Macromedia times.

The most recent article he points to is:

• The Business Case for Rich Internet Applications, Forrester report by Ron Rogowski.

Needless to say, I am interested in hearing about other research reports as well.

Tim Anderson tried out Tafiti, a search application based on Microsoft’s Silverlight and Live Search.

Ryan Stewart writes:

RIAs can help bring the worlds of desktop, web, and mobile together and that’s going to bring about all kinds of new use cases for applications as well as new business models and modes of communication.

In my opinion, posts such as this one or this one are first indicators that RIA on mobile devices will become important.
