Good article. I really hate the “web2.0″ word, and it has thus drawn me away from embracing the new trends. But you have put it in a very understandable way when relating to music. I will try to think of this article when im writing/talking about ‘web2.0′.

I've been wondering how much Web 2.0 design actually is out there. Not much would be my guess. Swissmiss recently posted somelogo trends of 2007. Not a Web 2.0 reflection in sight!

Well I suppose this Web 2.0 style has one major problem. As does each and every other design trend.
They tend to water down the identity of the brand they’re being use for. Using these style elements need to placed within appropriate context for them to be effective at all. This is true for all corporate identity design.
The complaints are valid to the extent that mimicking this aesthetic adds limited value at the height of the trend and is tied to the identity of other brands. This in of itself is very undesirable form a clients perspective. The (smaller) client may not realise this and it’s the designers job to steer the identity in the right direction.

Wat is a Web 2.0 look? Any examples? And who bashing it? I’m so out of the loop these days!
