RE: FN-FORUM: innovative web video

date posted 1st October 2003 17:26


I think the whole point can be boiled down to this:

The web needs to innovate and move forward. HTML still does more or less
what it did 5 years ago and 20 browsers ago. And really its still
doesn't do it very well in the majority of cases.

A lot more people have broadband and are beginning to find that there
isnt that much content for it. So it would be kinda good to use
technologies like flash to get entertainment and more advanced data
browsing sorted.

The site that started this thread off is a broadband/entertainment site,
not a list of data. If all you want from the internet is lists of data
and associated pictures then don't use plug-ins, animated gifs, that's
infotainment.

What would be really cool would be if google distinuished bandwidth
conscious content from broadband related content.
