If you are in the industry, you know about Web 2.0, but you may ask yourself, “Am I really applying the practices of this new movement. Sure I make a bottom reflection to my logos and write titles really really really big, but could I be doing something more?”

Yes you can.

Have you included a blogroll, tapped into the Google API, or referenced “Less is More”, “VC”, “The Long Tail” or Dave Legg? Have you incorporated both AJAX and prototype into your XHTML 1.1 strict website?

I didn’t think so.

Fortunately, the boys over at 30 Second Rule, have set the bar for all the Web 2.0 designers with this easy to use Web 2.0 validator. Use it often to check to make sure you are keeping up-to-date and in touch.
