When Will Your Website Look Like This?

Imagine: using streaming video to have a "TV spot" for your station on your website, hosted by your most-compelling personality? See how Royal Caribbean is doing it right now.

If you'd like to know who produced this and how much it cost, email me.

Jaye,

In reading your blog, you point out several very cool websites (like Royal Caribbean's) which make great use of Flash. But Dan O'Day strongly recommends against using Flash and instead programming the website to the lowest common denominator (slow computers, telephone modems, small monitors). What are your thoughts on this? Is O'Day stuck in the 90's? Is cutting edge technology better, even at the risk of alienating those who aren't on the edge? -- Glenn Nobel, NobelNOISE Audio Imaging (tel: 503.767.3899)

JA replies: Dan O'Day is right, I think. (as you can see from our www.radioconsult.com page) I was just showing that great Flash page as a look as what's possible. Have your website detect flash and use it if the connection speed makes it worth it, but stick with html and java for the more than half of the world that's still on dial-up.
