Old Quote – New Love
Thursday, May 13th, 2010I came across an old quote by Jared Spool of User Interface Engineering.
it reads as follows..
“When we have clients who are thinking about Flash
splash pages, we tell them to go to their local supermarket and
bring a mime with them. Have the mime stand in front of the
supermarket, and, as each customer tries to enter, do a little
show that lasts two minutes, welcoming them to the supermarket
and trying to explain the bread is on aisle six and milk is on
sale today.
“Then stand back and count how many people watch the mime, how
many people get past the mime as quickly as possible, and how
many people punch the mime out.
“That should give you a good idea as to how well their splash
page will be received. That’s the crux of it.”
Now I have no hate on for Flash. I enjoy both using and teaching it – BUT… I am NOT a fan of any “jump through this hoop” feature on a website, and splash pages have been a big one in this category.
This quote is perfect! I have a new geek crush (sorry Deke!).

When you get to the quote “..like Spanx or collagen injections for produce with a wonky super-ego” – you might snarf your drink. You are warned.
