Movietally and Understanding Web 2.0 Design

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tally-em-eup dept.

haym37 writes "Ajit Jaokar over at the Open Gardens blog has an article up on a growing service called movietally. The service allows users to tag the movies they've seen and receive automatic recommendations for movies they might like to see. He describes it as a 'textbook case of web 2.0 design' and goes into detail about the fundamental principles of web 2.0 design and how movietally relates to them. The interesting part about all of this is that, according to the article, the founder is only fifteen years old and created it in under a month."

    I think I'll wait for web 2.1 to come along so that all the bugs will be fixed.

    A "textbook example" of Web 2.0?

    What the author of the article sees:
    1. "Writing Semantic Markup: Transition to XML"
    2. "Remixing Content: About When and What, not Who or Why"
    3. "Emergent Navigation and Relevance: Users are in Control"
    4. "Adding Metadata Over Time: Communities Building Social Information"
    5. "Shift to Programming: Separation of Structure and Style"
    What I see:
    1. Tags
    2. Large font
    3. Rounded edges
    4. Top-right search box
    5. Prominent, two-tone, quasi-logical logo
