Just cause somethings looks "Web 2.0" doesn't mean it looks good

Well I saw this on digg. A guide to building your very own Web 2.0 layout

Here's their finished product - linky

I think it looks "marginal" at best, but people are all over it saying what a cool tutorial it is. What do you guys think of this design?

    "marginal" == "like utter shit"

    those colours and that layout is so over done. I wish people would STOP coming out with the same old stuff (I am not saying it is all bad) and think of something new.

    I just expected butterflies following my cursor on screen. Hopefully, there are those wonderful tags, soooo Web2.0 :)

    Surely Web 2.0 involves more Javascript and rounded corner action?

    Since when did Web 2.0 become a way your site looks? I was under the impression it is the content that matters.. I guess those guys who made the tutorial proved me wrong :P
  • gigingergiginger New
    Get with the times Kosmo, it's all about how flashy your site looks. This is where Mark is going wrong, he's spent too much time making his products work and not enough time filling it with useless junk that people'll never use.

    Tsk!

    Wheee!

    I think the site is a sarcastic commentary on the current trend for web design. I'm not sure it was meant as a serious suggestion of how to design a site!
  • gigingergiginger New
    I thought that at first but then had second thoughts.
  • Robert DuncanRobert Duncan
    it must be sarcastic, or am I overestimating the writer?! at least, I hope it's sarcastic, that look is not a good way to intentional design a web site, it is full of modern day clichés.

    web 1.5 at best. /me beats himself for even saying something like that.
  • aloiciousaloicious
    It's most definately sarcastic.
  • ithcyithcy New
    was the part where he says "I'm teasing" that gave it away?
  • aloiciousaloicious
    That too was sarcastic!

    Mehehehe
