A photographer friend of mine told me today he didn’t want to be a photographer anymore, but instead, was going to be a ‘digital imaging poet’.

However, if you dilute his opinions down they can be a bit easier to swallow. It is true though, as he says, that many firms are ‘turning their backs on the basics’, although it is entirely possible to get the basics right and still use Web 2.0 technologies to make the experience even more usable.
