It's the second (now third) result for the web2.0 tag.

Your advanced age will buy you no favors from this crowd. Release the hipsters!

Also, it's annoyingly innacurate. XML was created to "seperate form from content". CSS was, and CSS can be applied to both XML and HTML. Sheesh.

No, Outlawyr. The cool kids see through your feigned dislike. Also, they are too busy making lists of which bands suck to be bothered.

Also the statement "With form seperated from content, users did not need to know complicated code to upload to the web" is just idiotic. They didn't need to know "complicated code" to use Frontpage 1.0, and uploading wasn't made any easier by web2.0...

delmoi, there are far too many misunderstandings and bits of nonsense in this video to be able to list before this thread is closed. My personal favourite was "Most early websites were written in HTML".

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP. There is nothing wrong with one-link posts, and the idiotic idea that there is is responsible for half the bad, overstuffed linkfests that blemish the front page. Just stop it with this nonsense.
And now, back to flogging timeistight!

Great, now I'll run around yelling "Smithers, release the hipsters" for the rest of this night.
