[Marketing] evolters.org - what could it be?

[Erika Meyer]

I agree that evolt front door has always been a bit on the boring
side and that was one thing that was kind of cool about
hotwired/webmonkey: the cutting edge design experiments which
sometimes flopped... but the designs were bold, the colors intense...
it was an aesthetic embracing of the medium.

OTOH it's a different era now, and evolters do all this w/o a paycheck...

I think Flash is okay but only if it is used in a really really
accessible way and be extra careful on front door.

Flash experiments... akin to hotwired's animation stuff... would not
have to be accessible in the same way, because you go there *knowing*
it's all about the Flash.  You don't go there and grumble because
there's no text equivalent.

I looked at the URL below... couldn't see anything on Opera so I
opened IE because I know I have Flash 5 installed there... still a
blank browser.  Nothing at all.

what, is Flash 6 out?
oh, that must be it....

I know I should upgrade, but I kind
of resent having to upgrade a plug-in just to get info
from a web site.  Call me lazy, whatever.  So I am.
