Web 2.0 'distracts good design'

I've read that in a couple of years web 2.0 will be the standard and anyone who has not embraced it will be left behind.
Also, it depends on how you design your site, a few well dsigned mashups will enhance any website.

'Back to basics' is what I took away from that article. Many websites are completely changing their look because it's the cool thing to do at the moment. Web 2.0 has a purpose: ease of navigation for the user and something that's simple, even pleasant to look at without hurting your eyes (circa MySpace).

If you don't lay the foundation properly, your house won't stand up straight. Changing your awnings (or switching to a web 2.0 steezy) won't add some sort of futuristic usefulness or functionality. Focus on what your website does, then work on your design.
