Let’s not forget about graceful degradation

Far be it from me to be a nat­ter­ing nabob of neg­a­tiv­ity, but in all the Web 2.0 eupho­ria (I hate that name, BTW), let’s not forget about grace­ful degradation.

Let’s exam­ine the dis­cus­sion between Web 2.0 and Web 1.0 in regards to errors like this: Browser not supported

Web 1.0: What is this?

Web 1.0: Where did you get this?

Web 1.0: Where did you learn about this kind of thing?

Web 2.0: [Filled with teen angst] I learned it by watch­ing you!
