The Flash Usability Challenge ($150

The Flash Usability Challenge ($150 prize!) over at WebWord.com is challenging folks to find “an effective and usable web site using Flash, from a company generating a profit”, charging that “Flash produces web sites that are not suitable to e-commerce”. While I agree there are a lot of sites out there using Flash poorly, it’s not fair to blame the technology for the faults of overzealous designers and poor design decisions.
