The main programming languages were Ajax. Ajax is a kind of technique used on the client-side to create interactive web applications. Ajax provides a way for the user to interact with websites without refreshing and browser plug-ins. When an application uses Ajax to communicate with the server, only the required information is transferred to/ from the server instead of a full transaction. Ajax is based on open standards supported by many browsers and platforms. Ajax can improve user experience of ajax-based applications. Ajax allows web pages to request small bits of information from the server instead of whole pages, so users will save loading time when they open new pages. Because social network website will attract millions of users from different regions and countries with various web browsers. Ajax makes web applications work on most modern web browsers. This is an important reason why Ajax has become so popular, especially in Web 2.0 development.
