“I'm the same as you I was hoping to cash in more than just my reward points and maybe score a closing down desperation deal but the are stubbornly holding on.. probably sold anything worth buying by now anywho and just waiting... waiting for that next delivery”

“Maybe now forum owners and blog owners might be able to rest easily one day.”

“It was in the news sheets yesterday about Game UK, apparently they are on the verge of collapse. They are not taking in any deliveries (not just the ones I mentioned earlier) at all meaning they are more or less floating on what stock they had and then trade in stock..

It seems inevitable that another high street name is about to hit the skids..


*Cash in any loyalty points etc while you still can.”

“Ha! That's a great spoof story about FB. I seem to remember it wasn't long ago that the company's evaluation was set even higher Maybe some investors backed out or diluted their shares too much.”

“Web 2.0 is really just a buzz phrase. It's hype hit the streets in 2004 and it was 2005 when I remember every web dev saying its got to be web 2.0.

My Local Services last major facelift was in 2005, and the idea was to make this a web 2.0 site. Whether it is or not is upto indvidual interpretation.

The thinking at the time, (at least on the directory front) was to move away from the 1990 era websites, with scrolling text, clip art, noisy homepages and lots of clutter, and move to cleaner lines, with big bold call to actions.

So big buttons and curves were in, noisy square cluttered portal information overload style sites were out. At the time, Yell was still a square unispiring site, and applegate.co.uk was the benchmark of 1990's design (and hasn't actually changed that much, but is still very popular).

Now, a few years on, and social media taking over the world, web 2.0 has seemed to changed direction again, and it must include twitter feeds, facebook, live feed from your grandma...

Sites now seemed to be evolving again, the first wave of so called web 2.0 style sites have either rebranded or refreshed their design again, or in the process of it (us included).

A particular favourite of mine (design not company ) is Yells latest site. It very clean fresh, very obvious what it is, how it works and what you need to do. When you only have a split second to explain yourself, you can't ask for any more than that.

So maybe we are we now in web 2.5?

I think it's become a bit of a religion, and you can pretty much interpret web 2.0 however you want. But as a sales vehicle, which most of us who run eccomerce sites want, then look to your biggest comptetitors, who have the most to spend on research and development, and copy the best bits, trial it and let your conversion rate be the judge.”

“In my opinion every changing work just for high salary .”
