There are far too many talented people out there with too much time on their hands. How else does one explain these reinterpretations of traditional company logos if they had been Web 2.0 companies.Use Spotlight as a reference tool. Type any word in the Spotlight box and one of the top entries will be a definition. Click on it, and it will bring up the dictionary application to check the word in either the dictionary, thesaurus, Apple database, or Wikipedia.

Wow, there are far too many people that have taken what was obviously a joke thread way too seriously. It's not to be critiqued. It's to be laughed at as it shows us just how cookie cutter and generic this web 2.0 style is.

What the hell is Web 2.0 anyway?
I think people have too much time if they are throwing around jargon with no concrete or applicable meaning to "the rest of us".
