As you are all no doubt aware, we do not normally feature graphics, pictures, and art in our articles, as we do tend to adhere, and talk about how content is king, and how off putting over the top, and unnecessary graphics can be. Here though, we thought we would give you 50 Web 2.0 goodies, to keep the more artistic, creative, and indeed carefree of you, something to look at.
The goodies are split into categories: Visual effects, Logos and logotypes, Text Effects, Badges, Buttons, Web 2.0 Layouts, Gradients, Headers, and last but not least Web 2.0 round-up.
I know some of you may be thinking that Web 2.0 is a concept that details how the web has developed, and not an application, or tool in its own right, and the some of you who are thinking that, are right!
But for cool looking effects and graphics, which one can argue epitomizes Web 2.0, it is easier to call all these effects Web 2.0 goodies.
