MTV ditches Flash site
May 15th, 2007
Here’s a pretty big sign that Flash does-not-a-Web-site make: MTV recently scrapped the Flash version of their Web site and launched an HTML version.
After a nine-month run, MTV admitted that the Flash site was “something of a headache” for viewers. The company says page load times have been “drastically reduced” (no more ‘loading…’ messages). You can read more about the MTV site redesign on the MTV Labs blog.
They don’t mention other short-comings of Flash, such as the inability to bookmark specific content.
