Interestingly enough, I guess this begs the question... in the end, how much does all of this really complicated layer upon layer of the bloated dynamic web bring to us then say a more simplistic static website.
(...and yes, I do realize that there is a certain amount of value to Youtube and other multimedia outlets. But how tiring does it get to suffer through poorly crafted, sluggish flash intros?)
Every time someone creates a website with a flash intro that you have to sit through before getting to business, a goat is molested somewhere.
Just saying.
Think of the goats.
