Flash

Der Schockwellenreiter links to Skip Intro – An aesthetic and economic analysis of Macromedia’s Flash technology.

“Once abandoned as a useless, time-costly feature of a website that turned out to scare off visitors rather than invite them, the intro page is now popular with corporate websites as well as design-orientated webzines and portfolios.
You can, of course, usually skip Flash intros. But doesn’t that make them the equivalent of pop-up widows – annoying extraneous things that you want to get rid of as soon as they appear?”
