Sorry, didn't mean to imply that NoSQL and AJAX had any relation. I was just using it as an example of an overly broad term that came to mean more than it possibly should have (ie, any advanced Javascript was/is called AJAX, whether it uses XHR and xml or not). This article seems to take NoSQL down that path, by putting MapReduce under its umbrella.
