Came across this site called web2.0 validator. Based on the thirty second rule, given an URL, the site validates and gives a score on web2.0 conformance. Popular sites like msn.com, google.com score 2 or 3 on a maximum of 16/17. The interesting thing about the site is that all the rules of web 2.0 are provided by users of this site. Some of the rules look downright funny :
• Uses the prefix "meta" or "micro"?
• Attempts to be XHTML Strict ?
• Has a Blogline blogroll ?
• Refers to mash-ups ?
• Appears to use AJAX ?
• Appears to be built using Ruby on Rails ?
• Refers to VCs ? No
The definition of web 2.0 changes on a daily basis and the site checks randomly against the most recent rules decreed by it's users. Adaptivepath site scores 2/14. No better way to mock at Web 2.0!!
