Web Design and Web 2.0
Earlier this week I happened to stop and read this post on Seomoz where the writer suggested that it was time for some of those ‘ugly’ Web 1.0 sites to catch up to the rest of the Net and include some real Web 2.0 content on their sites.
If you read that post you’ll see a lot of people who agreed with the author and then you come to one person who didn’t … and that was me. You see, I’m of the firm opinion that there are horses for courses.
All those nice touchy-feely little things you can do with Web 2.0 are fine but not every site has users who are comfortable with things Web 2.0 and to include them on some sites would be the kiss of death to those sites. Ironically sports fishing sites - the example used by the writer over on Seomoz - is probably one of the worst examples she could have chosen.
But then who am I to say?
I may not be trendy but I am more in touch with reality than some people and youth and enthusiasm is never a match for experience and cunning - as long as you’re not too old and not too smart for your own good
