Wider or thinner? Big or tiny?

I’m talking about the size of your web page.What do you like? A page that fills the whole screen or a page the size of a post card?
On Myspace the trend was tiny, tiny, tiny.Little ani-inspired teenyboppers wanted tiny little profiles with little butterfiles and tiny little emo band references.
I thought they were cute.They were cute.Except the over use of the small font font.Which is ugly.
Right now I can’t really tell what the trend is because I see a lot of both styles.It seems about 50/50.
Designing for small screens ,one kind of has to take this into account.
But the few times I’ve brought it up I have gotten huh? in response.
You know that the future is coming.The future is here.This is it:
Design with the small screen in mind or don’t.But maybe we’ll all be looking at screens the size of a postage stamp really soon.I guess we should be prepared.
