2000s
The 2000s was a decade that began with the dotcom bust and saw the rise of blogs, services like Technorati, standards-based web development, the inventions of Pingback, RSS 2.0/Atom, microformats, and the emergence and growth of social media silos, and eventually web-capable smart phones in the late 2000s, all accompanied with a shift to silver or shiny aesthetic.

Aesthetics
Drastically shifting from the 1990s brightly colored translucent aesthetic, the late 1990s into the early 2000s saw the rise of shiny silver or chrome colored devices and products, subsequently dubbed "chromecore". Much of this shift from colorful to uniform was reflected in the designs of websites as well.
