Re: Will FIRST teams start using Web 2.0 styles?
I think it all depends on how the site itself is meant to be used. IMHO, as I hope many of you will agree, content should drive the interface, not the other way around. What I'm saying is, I hope no team gets blinded and goes crazy with Web 2.0 "goodness" to the point that the content is diminished by it.
I don't intend, for instance, to do much "Web 2.0" for our team's site right now. Why? Well, for one, nothing about our team really matches the "Web 2.0 look", which is a clear, shiny graphics interface from everything so far I've seen. Our team's logo is a saw blade, and our colors that of dirty metal. So I think a flattened, dark-Grey layout fits best.
As for the Web 2.0 interfaces....If used properly, it could be a big plus. But I'm not doing anything yet. I think the first place we'll start seeing things like this creep in are photo galleries.
