Zeldman on May 1st Reboot
Jeffery Zeldman writes on his observations of this years May 1st Reboot as well as giving his nominations.
There is more talent than originality out there: There are always more copiers than innovators, of course, even in a creative field like design. But freshness seemed in especially short supply this year.

There was little content and even less user science: Many sites submitted had no concern for the user on the most basic levels. Rarely could you identify an idea or purpose behind the site, or name a possible user goal the site was intended to facilitate. There was no flow, no legibility, no usability.
