Digital Web Magazine - Web 2.0 for Designers

Yet another good article from Digital Web here:
Digital Web Magazine - Web 2.0 for Designers

Interestingly it talks about how Web 2.0 moves away from front end design and focuses on better communication between computers.

This is a very big part of Web 2.0, but it ultimately ignores that the information is being spat put somewhere in the form of a user interface and the challenge now is to amalgamate all these different sources of information into a coherent usable interface. It is naive to dismiss the design in favour of the technological advances, since for the best overall result both need to be developed.

That said this article aims to give a kick to designers who turn a blind eye to standards and the need for technically competent designers.
