1. Got knocked out

I watched the flash presentation. But when it was over and before I could click on Enter, the page went to Page Not Found. Cute guys by the way...

5. Nothing against Flash per se...

But I just thought you should know that flash intros are not well regarded by most. They take up precious time to load, require plugins that people may or may not have (e.g., I run Firefox and apparently I need a NEW plugin to see your intro), and take up bandwidth. While ~60% of U.S. folks may have cable, the other 40% have dialup and tend to dislike time-consuming intros that don't cut to the chase. So you need a SKIP INTRO button at the very least.

If you're really looking for hits, don't go for fancy - go for fast loading, simple, and one main message per page to not distract the user from the message (as per the book _Big Red Fez_ by Seth Godin).

Just my 2 cents. Which is worth about 1/10 of a centavo at this point....

6. Thanks for your input.

I have DSL & did not even think about that. A skip intro is in the works.
