Here's a mess of notes from the World Of SVG that you might find exciting (I certainly did!) <\/p>\n

<\/object><\/div>\n

Google Spreadsheets Now Uses SVG For Charts<\/h3>\n

Via the Google Operating System Blog<\/a>. Big news - looks like Google Docs<\/a> now supports a charting\/graphics in their Spreadsheets documents. And guess what - it uses SVG<\/a> in cool browsers like Firefox<\/a> and Opera<\/a> (VML<\/span> in Internet Explorer). Kick ass! Now I'll have to see how well they import .XLS files...<\/p>\n

Google Preparing an Online Presentation App<\/h3>\n

It may not be a Powerpoint-killer (yet), but Google bought TonicPoint<\/a> and is going to integrate it into Google Docs as a Presentation component<\/a> to its Google Docs online suite. It's pretty cool that it uses SVG to do its bizness too.<\/p>\n

With these two bits of news, I would say SVG has officially arrived on the web in a big way (c'mon it's an integral part of Google's \"Office Killer\" suite of apps).<\/p>\n

Dojo Chart Benchmarking<\/h3>\n

Link<\/a> to some performance data for Dojo.gfx charting (in SVG and VML). Looks like WebKit is something to look forward to!<\/p>\n

Prototype Graphic Framework<\/h3>\n

Looks like Dojo.gfx has some competition. First Mochikit is cited as a key component behind TonicPoint (see article above) and now a new JS framework<\/a> for drawing vectors based on the popular Prototype. Competition is nice, but I'd rather see somebody implement some IE-specific JS that will parse an SVG document and turn it into VML (that way I don't have to deal with all these procedural calls to some new API, I can just write my SVG declaratively as it was meant to be).<\/p>\n

Blobs<\/h3>\n

And if you're looking for a cool little distraction - check out Blobular<\/a>, a neat little SVG demo.<\/p>\n
