[Sigia-l] Info on splash pages and flash movie intros

[Russ Unger]

I thought Jakob wrote something on this a few years back that PO'd a lot
of people and then was summarily ignored as all the dot.bombers started
throwing cash a the Flash intros just to show their buddies "who's was
bigger" as if they were Superbowl commercials.

Seriously.  Did a quick Google on "Jakob Nielsen Flash" and found it:

This also includes a little bit of praise and a link to Jakob's 117
design guidelines for Flash (probably because 2 or 3 wouldn't just make
him Jakob).

HTH,

Russ
