New Web Design Trend?

There seems to be a weird trend among website designs for company websites to have the same look and feel of a blog.  If you've visited some Wordpress or Blogger blogs you know there are several design templates, but once you've seen a couple pages of them, it's pretty easy to spot a feel or look you prefer.  Most designs have a large header for the title (some have room for a nice big pic or About Me section) with sometimes cartoon-like fonts and the page is divided into 2 or 3 columns with one column containing the main body text and another with links or rss feeds.  I like blog templates because they have clean lines, are very organized and easy to read/use. 

I like blog templates, but I'm not sure how I feel about company websites trying to copycat a blog's look.  Simplicity is good, but I feel like companies should step it up a notch and differentiate themselves with a sleeker design model.  To give you an idea of what I'm talking about check out TMX Communications or Kick Apps
