Flash Misnomers

Ever since Jakob Nielsen reported his "Flash 99% Bad" article (which I won't even dare to link here), Flash has gotten a bad rap. There's a lot of misconceptions floating out there about Flash as a web development tool and a viable content delivery medium. It's always puzzled me that according to a majority of the "Top 10 websites" contests and such lists, that the sites at the top were either built with Flash, contained Flash content, or were totally Flash sites. So, what can be wrong with Flash? Check out this post for a listing of some of the top misconceptions about using Flash for web development.

My take on Flash is that, it's here to stay.
