I hate these flash little intros on the bottom right. What I really hate is when it plays sound by default.

So I’m sitting in my basement, I have the volume up because I am watching a DVD in one corner, and I surf to Warner’s Blog (warning: sound.) Now it is a nice blog, I’ll give them that. But then this Warner video starts, it has sound, and it blows my ears out.

And to make matters worse, it plays it TWICE before the cookies shut it off. TWICE.

I was discussing this with the Warner blog team at the College Democrats Convention, and they said “Well, that isn’t what we’ve heard. We have gotten a lot of good feedback.” Sure, looks cool, just don’t have it play sound by default.

But I want to decide if the audio works or not. My speakers, not your speakers, but mine.

Their blogger/regional political director are nice people. Somewhat avoided me during the convention, not sure why (I was nice about everything) but whatever. Their loss.

Update: They are changing this to rollover audio. Thanks Jerome and good luck with the campaign
