Marta, The reason why Lee thought that Ogio's site was annoying (I assume) is because it has so much Flash animation between you and the site's content. Flash (like a lot of programs, I guess) allows people to create elaborate monstrosities that actually get in the way of their intended purpose. There is no substitute for a good user interface design sensibility, of course, but I've seen so many times when Flash just makes it easier to drag a web site down.
I've come to appreciate how aptly the program is named. It's not content--it's just Flash. It would have been even better if they named it "Bling." j.
