Web 2.0 is a generalized marketing term used to describe a trend. The
trend it is describing is about sites like flickr, del.icio.us,
youtube, and even myspace, which utilize the network effect to let
users produce the content for the website, and generate massive
communities around content creation.
In what way is faux finishes related to that?
Is the site going to be about people logging in to upload photos of
their own faux finishes?
If instead, you are referring to the erroneous and frothing mad
interpretation of the term "Web 2.0", that is, to refer to sites that
use ajax, another misunderstood and only vaguely related marketing
term, Then, in what way does a site about faux finishes lend itself
to ajax?
As for the microformats, what do they have to do with bookmarks?
My basic point is, you are approaching the problem of web development/
design from completely the wrong direction. Design the site first,
and how it should operate, do user testing and user centric design.
Decide what technologies are needed to achieve that dead last. You
are doing it backwards. You've decided what technologies you want to
use first, and seem to be intending to design the site around them. I
think you will find that if you examine the successful "Web 2.0"
sites, that they used the user centric approach, not the technology
centric approach. That's what's set them apart. Not ajax. Not
microformats. Not shiny OS X inspired graphics.

Hi,
I've an opportunity to create a site specializing in faux finishes.
This appears to lend itself to a web 2.0 application. Would someone
provide examples in writing of commercial, preferably art related
commercial web 2.0 applications?
Interested in
AJAX/DOM
For updating/displaying finish data
Micorformats
possibly to bookmark finishes/collections
Respectfully,
CK
