Very true, and not to mention certain smartphones aren't compatible with Flash at all! I think Steve Jobs killed Flash when he refused to make the iPhone compatible with it, and the amount of non-compatible devices in circulation is only going up. I think it's time to let go of Flash for good.

Flash – Unless you’re Madonna or Coke, you can probably probably skip that all-Flash Web site. One study showed that 25% of their visitors left IMMEDIATELY after landing on their cool Flash intro page. That’s a huge number to me. Search engines ONLY see text. By not having any text on your homepage, you’re missing out on potential customers/visitors. Thanks for sharing.
