they're called 'modules' not 'blocks'.Its like it was written by someone who comments on stuff because they know a few industry words. 'gradients', 'blocks'Nothing written at all about how accessability plays a huge factor in the design of each of those sites. e.g. Youtube, looks plain and boring yet will work on even the most outdated and basic browsers.
This is not a great article. The author isn't a designer and is not great at the writing doesn't show much insight into actual design trends.They're really highly superficial observations made by an amateur observer. There's nothing wrong withthat, but it doesn't warrant being dugg.I mean, he actually lists 'boxes' and 'buttons' as design trends!!
The WOW site design is a example of what webdesigners did five years ago.Modern sites look clean and simple, have rounded corners and gradient effects and doesn't have a lot of pictures. With other words, just like the Digg design.

Quite an interesting found. "Design Patterns: Badges, Tag Clouds, Huge Fonts" (<a class="user" href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2006/09/03/webdesign-trends-badges-tag-clouds-enormous-fonts/)">http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2006/09/03/webdesign-trends-badges-tag-clouds-enormous-fonts/)</a> describes the same trends.

I think this is a great article but doesnt talk about what coding is being used. Is this HTML or XML, both or something completely different?
