Social Mediaesque Design

I’m curious how long this design trend will last.  You know what I mean: the clouds, the curved corners, the module/widget look, the large slightly-cartoonish fonts, the in-your-face buttons. Examples: GOP.gov OR  Whitehouse.gov.

These designs, which I assume are user-friendly (they seem so), are certainly better than what preceded it.  But the time seems ripe for a creative designer to start doing something a bit different.

You know it’s about to change when all the political sites start to jump on the bandwagon.
