"I remember the sweetness of a day long passed" --Votilaire
Back in early 2007, it seemed as if things couldn't get any better.Web 2.0, as this forum is, was declared the champion of the year. The world was amidst a boom of newfound prosperity. The Middle East was the sole dark spot in the world and much attention turned to the U.S presedential election in hopes a new president would solve the problem. Technological and scientific advances were growing every day. Global warming seemed like a mere road bump to be flattened. It seemed that it waa the beginning of a golden age of world prosperity. Then, the recession came down hard. The credit crunch flattened waves of e-start-ups, as had happened all too familiarily in 2001. As the recessioned deepened last September, web 2.0 sites saw drops in contributions and advertiser revenue. Nonprofits saw donations cut. Many sites will not weather this recession, and those that do will have an indelible mark left on their surface.
