I normally don’t write a post that isn’t much more than a comment on another post, but the folks at Mind Valley Labs have just blogged about one of my biggest pet peeves; Flash intros. These were hugely popular about 3-5 years ago, when everyone was learning how to “tween”, but nowadays, not only is it lame, it’s actually detrimental.
It really saddens me to see the golf industry is so far behind the rest of the world when it comes to internet adoption. I understand the “Design by CEO” mantra, and the HIPPO’s opinion, but c’mon people. Snap out of it: Abolish all Flash intros!
Oh, and if you’re wondering why it’s such a big deal, please read the post at Mind Valley Labs. I couldn’t have said it better myself.

I see the same thing all the time in the bridal/wedding industry! It drives me nuts! I want a site that is clean/fast. Flash (as it is over-abused) does not allow for that.
Intro pages—flash or otherwise—are a thing of the early 2000′s.
