Vernacular Web 2

Olia Lialina's Vernacular Web 2 is a really nice look at how Web 2.0 has changed the relationship between amateur-and-web and professional-and-web, asking: "how does the Web look now, when it’s no longer seen as the technology of the future, when it’s intertwined with our daily lives and filled by people who are not excited by the mere fact of its existence?"

Although I'm disappointed with the brief acknowledgment of role of cats in today's web, I did really enjoy the extensive investigation of glitter graphics (there is a great page comparing dynamic GIFs with glitter-fied GIFs of the same subject matter).

A good read.
