I remember that i have read about a very good article abut this topic on nytimes.com technology

Will search and let you know

Should be something with nice introduction video, but more interactive

html5 and css3 hands down. the new stuff coming out (see mrdoobs.com) blows me away.
and with time, that same experience will be tv based as well. imagine all the neat interfaces we will be able to create and have them delivered on the big screen. woohoo!
that is of course unless the 2012ers are right, then the next big thing will just be survival of the species

i think big header....

may be dominated by flash

I agree with raskamuda, in my opinion flash will be the next trend. It has already started being more popular because it is secure, cannot copy-paste it easily, it supports videos so friendly etc..

Not sure flash will be the new trend, Its actually the opposite with html5 emerging

yeah flash is not good for SEO. Html5 will replace flash. =)

web 2.0 has nothing to do with fonts or pastel colors - its about being interactive.

web 1 - static sites that people could not interact with.

web 2 - sites that people can join and post their own content.

Web 2.0 was way before 2006. It started back in the late 1990s and early 2000s with the innovation of database driven content management systems like phpnuke, postnuke and forums.

What do I think is the next big trend?

Sites based off mobile technology. In other words, sites designed for smart phones - iphone, droid, and the new microsoft phone that is supposed to be on the way.

Currently sites are designed for 1024X768 and higher screen resolution. I look for sites to have mobile browser features. So that when someone views a site on a smart phone, they get a special theme and layout.

Recent reports say that smart phone sales are catching up with PC sales. Web site developers are going to have to re-think their design models to meet the rise in smart phone popularity.

Technology and internet growing on a daily basis, who knows what is comming tomorrow.

Silverlight might just get the attention it needs. I think that Silverlight is often underestimated by some of the developers. It is really very powerful and I think its fun coding with it as I know .NET. There are various tools which are good enough to get powerful content easily.

It's html5 and css3 I think.

combining API features from other websites into customized portal type sites.

i believe it must be HTMLv5....
