Hi Alan, The first observation that I have is more in process than in designing. The web is becoming much more about activity, task and goals than about place. The standard wayfinding methods that were used in the initial days if IA are no longer enough. In fact a simple site diagram is not enough to accurately scope the complexity of a "2.0" site. We now work with dynamic containers that can, not only support a wide variety of data, but change interactions and functionality. This is much more than a simple template/data relationship. So, our sites and site map diagrams appear to have become simpler, but require some additional means of communicating the complexity - often a verbal presentation, but in some cases use case patterns with modal diagrams.
