@ EMO: dude, I think I know that Web 2.0 is not only about rounded corners.
This is what I had written about all such online generators in an earlier post:
Most of these generators are online gags, a broad parody of the so-called Web 2.0 design practices currently visible/imitated all over the Internet.
Even the RoundedCornr.com site mentions this gag aspect. This, for instance, is a quote from the RoundedCornr site:
So let's go over this once again:
However, if folks find them of some use, I guess we can live with that, no?
Note: I hasten to mention that these generators parody only the design aspect and not what is commonly-regarded as Web 2.0 technology [AJAX, PHP, Forums etc].

Most online generators that generate elements that allegedly conform to the elusive Web 2.0 'style' [and exactly what that is I don't know -- most of the 'elements' of the so-called Web 2.0 design and usability have been around from the time I began using the Internet, like the Google logo or user participation through sites like amazon.com or epinions.com] are basically created in a lighter vein -- as online jokes

I honestly don't believe in Web 2.0. It's the internet, all it defines is a change in pace and new languages. So fucking what? Some sites NEVER changed in terms of design. Features maybe, but not design.
