That they do. But whether it was crazy table-based extravaganzas in Web 1.0
days (the example I gave) or 'cramming in as many social features as they
can' nowadays (as you say), the problem is NOT Web 2.0 per se. It's just bad
design. There's nothing wrong with social features, it's the 'cramming'
that's a symptom of bad design. Complaining of the latter is an invitation
to the Hall of the Obvious or, I suppose, an Alertbox. I guarantee there'll
be obvious examples of bad design during Web 3.0 and 4.0. :-)
