I’m definitely getting tired of the term Web 2.0. I actually have started to cringe every time I hear someone say an idea isn’t 2.0, a site looks very 1.0, or anything similar or derived from those statements. Web 2.0 is a philosophy more than a standard, and unfortunately, the term has been bastardized and marginalized from when it was originally coined. However, I have to support the general movement, and in doing so, provide the following link as a good resource for those looking to spice up their online presence. I do caution that the use of these resources will not make your website 2.0. Simply adding rounded corners or colourful badges will not actually facilitate the Web 2.0 movement or equate to and adherence to Web 2.0 standards. As I mentioned, it is a philosophy, and too difficult to explain well or effectively, especially with so many interpretations and/or preconceived ideas already filtering into the mainstream. Hopefully the link and downstream links help, either directly or through inspiration.
