Well .load() can be used for POST/GET as well. Where .get() is used in GET.

.load() can also allow you to specify where you want the document inserted.

$('#id').load("myAjax/test.html", "#container");

So .load() really is only useful when the call only will result in HTML.

These are just wrappers for $.ajax() so a lot of times you will see just the $.ajax() being defined.
