Best uses of Flash (says Lord Google)
On Thursday, July 05, Mark Berghausen wrote a post to the Official Google Webmaster Central Blog with the title of “Best uses of Flash” and today I’ve read a few posts in response.
I understand all of the points that are being made in the Google post when it comes to search and I don’t entirely disagree with them. However, Mr. Berghausen’s post came across (in my opinion) as stating that they are Google and they know best. That if they say these rules set forth by them are the “Best uses of Flash”, then the rest of us should simply accept and adhere to them.
Now, I DO know that search is VERY important to many, many sites out there. However, as Benny asks in the comments, “Isn’t it time to accept that there are sites (e.g. depending on audiences) for which it perfectly make sense to offer full flash sites?”
The question I pose is this: Are these REALLY the “Best uses of Flash” simply because a giant like Google says so or is this more along the lines of Google simply trying to persuade developers to do things the way Google wants them done?
