In my previous post I talked briefly about fair use of flash in websites and this led me to review an old article entlitled Flash is Evil written in 1999. I remember reading it when it came out and I couldn’t agree more with the author.
The article reviewed in a few paragraphs the abuse of flash used in websites at the time, especially the cases where entire websites were coded in Flash. The author worried that some day Tim Berners-Lee open source platform could be taken over by Flash. Not to mention that the author got heaps of hate mail.
I was at the moment developing Hoymesiento.com an emotion based portal (that whas the word back then) entirely coded in flash which was doomed from the begining. The outcome? the blog I created in 1998 still online, while you have to check Hoymesiento.com on web.archive.org
