looks like the main thing flash is being used for these days is for a video player

On the other hand, I still see a steady influx of fantastic Flash work

Never looked at the F_W_A?
I went to the D&AD's and Cannes this year and 98% of the sites (if not 100%) are Flash based sites.

yeah, of course they are, why wouldn't they?

because it seems like a lot of flash sites are about marketing .. I have to come across a very useful flash site .. can you recommend one?

No, people decided Frontpage was the good enough, why mess with a winning formula...

yeah I definitely agree flash is amazing for a part of a web site .. but as a whole web site? It works well as a video player, displaying charts, info graphics, etc ... but I have yet to see an entire flash site that is useful ... useful like a site like google.com, digg.com, qbn.com, etc .. actually kontain.com and searchme.com are pretty useful

I think my first response when I see a flash site is .. what are they trying to sell me?
- kezza_20
Things can exist just to be beautiful and entertaining. Usefulness isn't the reason people use Flash.
Although I make a prediction, in a couple of years all ecommerce sites will have a Flash/flex front end.

Every day trying to work with the Margeting Manager and explaing the same thing over and over that because the company's whole website was made in flash they have compromised their SEO, I imagine thats one of the reason why smaller company's don't use flash a much as HTML, style over substance?
