They use a Javascript plug-in detect routine that only works on a few

browsers (am I the only one who signed up to hitbox to check their

methodology?).


The bigger question is whether our customers recognise the many multimedia

brands they are offered for what they are. Under normal circumstances if I

were offered something that was both 'real' and 'flash' or something that

was 'html' the choice would be fairly easy. The fact that it might fuck up

my computer wouldn't come into it - by the time it had it would be too late

to go back and learn that html was the cooler format.


Perfect examples of brands that work where knowledge of the product is

close to zero. 'Good' technology anyone?
