The javascript thick clients google has are really neat. My business is currently working on a design that uses the same kind of stuff. The most impressive thing is how they transfer data between the browser/server without postbacks. It is done with the XMLHttpRequest object.. read all you can about it if you are a web coder, it's an untapped resource that is supported by all the major browsers today.
