Does the new design of Technorati mark the demise of the โweb 2.0โ style? It just looks a lot more, well, like a normal website. Three columns. Small-ish fonts. Minimal use of colour gradients. Dave Sifry explains whatโs going on:
While we love expert bloggers, weโve also spent a lot of time making Technorati understandable to normal people.
In other words โ Technorati has grown up, got its hair cut, and bought some sensible clothes. Depending how you want to look at it, this is the mark of a company entering maturity, or the death of idealism. Itโs probably both.
