Flash CAN be useful but unfortunately the biggest offenders of Flash overuse end up creating all this artsy-fartsy crap that force you to SLOWLY read all the full-paragraph crap that some marketing goon wrote instead of just the important, informative bullet points that we all want to know about a product. Fading in takes time. Fading out takes time. If you're going to write for flash, make it FAST and for God's sake, leave the music on your iPod, not on your website.

I hate flash based websites. If they are flash ONLY I just don't go there.... At least some sites will have a non-flash version. Sure the non-flash version might be lame-o with only the information I am looking for as a value - and I miss all the whiz bang animation - but I think I might live... I block flash using SafariStand for Safari http://hetima.com/safari/stand-e.html and Flashblock for Firefox http://flashblock.mozdev.org/

What's up with the URL? Scatalog? You can imagine my disappointment.

I hate Flash based websites...it's just an unnecessary hastle. I wonder if companies are aware that many people are actually turned off by Flash based websites.
