David Temkin has previewed Laszlo Webtop which he describes as:

a commercial product that enables the delivery of multiple windowed applications in any browser. You can think of it as a framework for creating and delivering a browser-based “desktop” or “WebOS” experience, in which each application is written using OpenLaszlo. Laszlo Webtop provides the overall user interface, the glue to integrate the applications, and the server pieces that make it possible to integrate existing data and services into a seamless Web-based desktop, or webtop.

The final release will also mean support for both Ajax and Flash apps. Read David’s preview or Visit the website for Laszlo Webtop.

Ajaxian » Open source PHP-based Ajax image editor
Pete Frueh has released a PHP-based Ajax image editor. The editor was originally integrated into a content management system, that Pete had built for a client previously, but the new code structure should make it fairly easy to drop it in anywhere.

It doesn’t have documention at the time, but if you t currently has no documentation, but if you download the source code, there’s nt much to getting it running. The editor is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License, so have at it!

You can check out a demo to see it in action.

I’m sure you would like to have an idea of the demographics of your website visitors. If so, Microsoft adCenter Labs has the tool for you.

The tool can be used to predict a visitor’s age, gender and other demographic info based on their online behavior. The report shoots you back a General Distribution breakdown as well as a Predicted Distribution breakdown.

General Distribution is the breakdown by age of MSN Search users—based on a one-month MSN Search log—regardless of search query used.

Predicted Distribution is the predicted breakdown by age of MSN Search users for a single search query, based on the adLabs predictive model.

Here’s the information for this site:

It’s a 60/40 split with men seeming to be the higher number. What I think is cool is that the tool says that the highest General and Predicted Distribution age range is from 25-34. Why do I think that’s cool? Well, because I just turned 29 last month!

The tool can also be used to look at the demographic predictions for actual search terms instead of just a single website. This could prove valuable in PPC marketing as well as ad copy on your page itself.
