The Art of Technical Writing 2.0

Here’s a design style guide that says things simply and beautifully.

It also pushes the argument that Web 2.0 is not merely a concept anymore, it has taken concrete shape and we are in the midst of a movement. The great thing about this movement is that it has a class of its own. When this movement comes to a pass the remains will be worth dedicating a museum too - like say the Louvre.
I have a feeling that I will be referring to this guide very often in the coming few days.

“Simplicity, according to me too will form one of the most necessary features of Web 2.0.”

In the next post we will explore how we can apply it to writing style.

Web 2.0 is the age of information.

Our ancestors lived in an age when the only way to access knowledge was through books. Between the time when my grandfather gifted me my first encyclopedia to today where I actually have edited a few entries on Wikipedia, man has traveled a long way.

The age of Web 1.0 was a phase when Internet was accessed by the elite and the erudite. The new version of the Web has made memory redundant. All you need to know is your email password and you are fine.

Today I was talking to one of my friends and she told me that a mutual friend of ours recently celebrated her birthday. I said that I must wish her belated happy birthday. She said that I was shameless.

I said that we Web 2.0 people are quite shameless.
