Weird Criticisms Over Web 2.0
It was a couple of months ago, I started to track criticisms of web 2.0, after having read something like “web 2.0 is all about fancy graphs and ajax” on the web.
Well, first of all, web 2.0 is a set of web applications and web sites which were not available with the technology and broadband internet connections a couple of years ago. Thus, first of all, web 2.0 is being able to watch a video of a breaking news over the net, without major interrupting of the video and and without being stuck in a low resolution and being able to watch it in a size that is bigger than a square-inch.
Now, I would like to say some more on “the fancy graphs”. It looks weird to me that when some people come across a design which is more usable and more readable than the past, their first reactions is really cheesy. I agree that there are very amateur designs that aim just being fancy only. However, there are lots of improvements in usability and readability of the web since web 2.0 is here. The reason it got more usable and more readable is that educated people on design and usability are hired more than the neighbor’s son as a web designer and developer.
Some people even criticize the use of big fonts, white space, etc. in a way as if they are not necessary for the presentation of information in a web site.
I just don’t understand why sometimes some people tend to get irritated by better design and better usability. This is why I call that a weird criticism.
