Makes sense, based on current economic situation. The trend to consolidate will be good for the industry by getting rid of the cookie cutter site. Too many options out there. As for te clean look. It makes the site more appealing for a takeover. At TechBranch, I like to review my Web Design annually. With all this activity it looks like the social networking sites are looking to consolidate.

So many blogs that I read have so much going on, which is both distracting and results in huge page loads. We're moving away from that. I keep looking at my iPhone with a single button and thinking "I want the website equivalent of that." So I actually think minimalist is just starting to come around again.
