I do use some Ajax on an adult blog and when I first played with it, I was impressed enough to rave about it briefly on another adult board. That said and admittedly I haven't put much thought into it, but I think the potential of Ajax in adult is quite limited.

More than that, a lot of its use in the wider arena right now could be classified as geeky. For example, does it really make sense, except to have other webmasters say wow, how cool, to turn a fairly intuitive navigation layout into links which are hidden unless the surfer realizes he is on an Ajaxified site and knows what to do?

My initial reaction to Ajax was that it is a brilliant way to handle parts of a site which are interactive: rating, polls, comments, etc., etc. But I don't see the point of making areas interactive where such interactivity is neither required nor provides any special benefit, simply because it can be done.
