When to Use Flash?

Do you feel weird asking yourself this question? Of course you would if you’ve met many clients demanding to have something done in Flash and it becomes worst when they’d like their whole website to be done in Flash.

Before I float off further into some psychological frenzy, here’s an exclusive review of the Gamers.com.my website.

In my email today of the Adsense newsletter edition, they had a short interview with their optimization specialist (sounds cool, no?) Mike Gutner. So what does Mike do?

I work on AdSense optimization. We run tests to identify the best ways in which AdSense publishers can make the most of their Google ads.

You’re in a meeting and you’re discussing the changes needed made to the current project. Your breathing becomes heavy and your heart is pounding furiously like it just wants to pop out and hit your client with its arteries.
