WEB-WHORE. AND PROUD OF IT.

CC-BY-NC Mike MonteiroAs nauseating as it sounds, I cannot stand non-web-2.0 sites; I initially chalked it up to a design issue, but I now realize that is much, much more–I am lost without the ontology of tags (and the promise of emergent meta-data!), the dearth of read/writedness (I do not fear the new online colectivism! I embrace it! Whole-heartedly, even!), superflous page-loads (eff synchronicity and hand me the AJAX!), and un-open formats–and, well, you know: there’s also the fact that serif fonts, unrounded corners, and unmuted, harsh colours make me want to stab myself in the eye1.


  1. Alright, so maybe it is just a design issue.
