… and I might have been harsher than he in some instances (or mentioned some he didn’t mention). But since I work in the biz I’ll keep my mouth shut (and my fingers still).
But I love this:
Shut up. Websites that have sound on autoplay are sheer madness. The San Francisco Ballet’s otherwise excellent website ( www.sfballet.org) opens to a loud and intrusive video that will have you lunging for the mute button on your computer. Ballet San Jose’s website ( www.balletsj.org) also opens with an unpleasant bang.
… and does anyone else find it funny that it’s the ballet sites that are giving us this unasked for music? The minute a site does that to me I leave it. Period. I just hate those! Sure, give me an opportunity to hit “play” if you want, but don’t give me unasked for music. Sometimes I already have music on, believe it or not!
