[Sigia-l] Web 2.0 99% bad

[Brett Taylor]

Completely agree, there has to be a new buzz word idea to sell to the
clients. By adding RSS feeds to a website, does that make it web 2.0 or
just the ability to add RSS feeds? Let users do what they want, only
means letting us clean it up in the end.

Have to agree with you on this Eric. Web 2.0 has ushered in a lot of bad
user experiences hidden behind under cool widgets and lime green design.
It's no secret that most users don't get what an RSS feed is and on most
sites it goes utilised.. I'm one of the last people on the planet to
support what Nielsen says, he's been a pain for too many in the industry
for me to support, but in this case he does have a point, but not a new
one as you say Eric.
