An all too familiar story for me also. I think solomodels does a great job at implementing these technologies into something that isnt so "geeky" or something that has more of a practical output and usage. It is obvious solomodels is doing something similar to onemodelplace.com (that place is huge) but i'd consider OMP more like the myspace of modelling protfolio providers. They are good but solomodels is better. That flash portfolio is amazing to use so thumbs up on that one. ... but maybe you can fade each music track in for 5 seconds at the start? Haha @ Mark Thomson. An all too familiar story for me also.

If you must do it, at the very least please slowly fade the music in so I have time to adjust my speakers. You can imagine my face when quietly browsing the web and a loud commotion brings my girlfriend into the room. Her: 'What'cha doing?' Me: 'Umm.. er.. researching AJAX stuff' Her: 'Oh... reallly? That doesn't look like research to me!' DOH! Pretty cool, but any website that suddenly blasts music at me without me asking for it gets an immediate thumbs down.

Solomodels uses Ajax in quite a few places when it makes sense, such as for quick image previews, the Help section, and quite a bit of Ajax when users are actually logged in. For example, configuring the flash creatives uses Ajax to allow drag/drop/sorting of images to build the flash creatives. The internal chat/IM system is also Ajax based, allowing messenger like features without any activeX or other pluggins, but just Ajax.

I saw this site first on Google's blog a couple of months ago. If you navigate the site, the thumbnails are displayed very quickly. Then as you roll across each image, the full blown image is fetched on the fly. There's no prefetching going. As a result, browsing for models page by page are very fast. I like the fact that they controlled how the large image is displayed so that it does not cause the horizontal scroll bar to appear if it reaches the edge of the screen.
