A few years ago I posted a list of technological similes on this blog involving the term “Ajax” which I aggregated from a Google Search. You can read about it here.
It occurred to me that a similar search of similes involving the term “Silverlight” might be equally fruitful, much like throwing a fishing net into a sewer and seeing what comes back. Voila the results:
“Silverlight is like a little baby.”
“Silverlight is like Flash.”
“Silverlight is like Flash … only different.”
“Comparing Flex to Silverlight is like comparing apples and oranges.”
“Silverlight is like all choppy and slow which slow down my browser like hell.”
“Silverlight is like ajax and Flex.”
“Silverlight is like a lightweight version of WPF…”
“Silverlight is like a browser add-on that can understand XMAL code.”
"Silverlight is like OS X.”
“At a time like this, finding an article written as recently as Feb 2009, and listing the strengths of Silverlight, is like finding lots and lots of drinking water when thirsty in a desert.”
"Silverlight is like activex all over again – arghhhhh!"
“In the experience world WPF is the Ferrari, Silverlight is like a Lexus, and Ajax is that Nissan Stanza that your sisters boyfriend bought…”
“Microsoft Silverlight is like the proverbial elephant…”
“After playing with the beta for a few weeks, developing a control in Silverlight is like walking through mud.”
“Using Silverturd instead of Silverlight is like using M$ instead of Microsoft and people who do that are looked down upon.”
“Someone memtioned Silverlight is like Java plugin?”
“I read on one blog that programming with Silverlight is like going camping with .NET.”
“Silverlight is like the wild wild west. Everyone code however they want, Every new discovery is like virgin territory…”
“The easy developing tool provided by Silverlight is like candy to lure developers in and cage them…”
“SilverLight is like Flash on Crack.”
“Silverlight is like the force. It has a light side and a … uh…… silver side.”
“Silverlight is like an add on. Almost after the fact. I haven’t thought it through…”
Thanks for these wonderful little nuggets! I can’t wait to use memtion in conversation.
Ben,
"Silverlight is like the force" is my personal favorite.

Fair-and-square argument you produce in Technological Similes (e.g., Silverlight is like . . .). Fascinating to study the post and supplemental opinions expressed by commenters on other web sites.A post a day keeps the remarks flowing.
