Yes Kevin, u said everything I was gonna so I guess I wont say it!

Make the site the way you would want to view one yourself and allow the user

to decide if they want to view what you have to offer.

I've been following this thread and find it interesting that many are

complaining that the sky is falling because of the views of a few critics.

FLASH will not make a site good or bad. The content and the creator will do

that. You see people rip FLASH sites in here all the time that if you showed

to most people they would go crazy for.


I think we are hearing from a lot of jaded people. They are probably the

same type that thought that TV and Moving Pictures were gimmicks and not

"real"  communication mediums. Flash and the Web will continue to evolve and

things will get to be clich�'s but I don't see people choosing lifeless

technology to the interactive experience which Flash can be.

BTW, many of the people who criticize Flash probably like the "creative,

artistic sites" on the web. I often find these the least user friendly sites

on the net and end up thinking why bother. They are generally loved by the

same type of people who created them. They are like the art films that play

in the small theatres to rave critical reviews while the masses of people go

to All-Star Wrestling. I think you can aim somewhere in between and develop

good content. (As far from Wrestling as possible, I hope)


As Barnum once said, "No one ever went broke underestimating the

intelligence of the American public." I think some of these people think too

much  instead of asking other people their opinion.
