I really don’t like Flash. Actually, I really don’t like the way most sites use Flash. Most sites use Flash to do things that can be done using DHTML. Justin (a fellow Yahoo!) uses Flash to do some sweet stuff with maps. Why just mashup the data when you can use some of the advanced features available in Flash to do some really neat client-side stuff? The “pirate map” is fantastic. It doesn’t do anything special, but it does look neat.
