Interactive Design on the Web

Since the advent of flash the interaction experience thats occurs on the internet has improved drastically allowing for dynmaic experiences with sound, movement, type and colour. Check out these experiences...

The Good Food Fight is great example of the ability flash has for extending the experience we can have on the internet. Imagine having a food fight with a chef who runs around your web page- hiding behind RSS feeds and Menu Bars. Don't imagine- just hit the link.

Sketch Swap is another great of site showcasing the simple ability of flash to provide an interaction experience on the world wide web. Basically you draw a drawing- when your done, its submitted and then you get to watch someone else draw up whatever they drew. Simple. But a great way to procrastinate.

Graffiti archeology
poses a unique way of looking at a unique art form. Once again- by the powers of flash, you can step back in time and watch the progress of a series of walls as they follows the due course of any graffiti hotspot. Which is all very interesting- but the main point is that this is an experience that we wouldn't be able to have without this shift in change of technology and perspectives on how the web works- brought in by Web 2.o.
