Shoving everything within 200px and leaving 2/3 of the page blank doesn't look minimalistic...it looks ugly. | |

Aye, and the fact that it automatically resized my browser to fit the page did my head in  | |

The arrows will be clickable and one will incorperate a radio, and one an affiliates thing. It'll look good when finished. It's supposed to look OSXish | |

pmwww | | Re: What search engine do you use? (8th Jan 08 at 12:41pm UTC) | | In what way are they "copy cats"? Just because they are following the "guidlines" and characteristics of 2.0?
Personally, 2.0 is rather fantastic, but there are changes that could be made,and if web-based applications take off, like Adobe's AIR then 3.0 can be better.
How 1.0 could be "different" when it was the first incarnation is just confusing  | |

1.0 was what the internet originally was. It wasn't really innovative. It was how people had started to design. Cluttered layouts, disorganized pages, horrible color scheme, terrible icons, disarray in the real sense of the word. Things got better over several years - then came Web 2.0
Web 2.0 strives for organization and innovation. Web 2.0 is more than just a type of glossiness used that people commonly misconceive as its true definition. It is more of a set of principles for web design and web development. Its more about interaction and convenience and clear and neat designs. The development of RIAs (Rich Internet Applications) follows on that path.
This is a snap of the Yahoo.com homepage back in the web 1.0 era (2000). That was the exact kind of crap (by today's design standards) that was floating around the web.
There's really no need for this debate cos it is clearly going nowhere. And its not really a debate. The web is always developing towards a brighter future. Its just gonna get better. Everyone knows it. O'Reilly knows it. If you don't know who that is, then maybe you shouldn't bother to opine anymore. You can believe what you will. For the rest of us, it is a fact. period. | |
