Susan says Heres my favorite quote from Sergey Brin, because it is soooo SEO

"I think that one of the things that ends to really decrease the utility of sites is when they maybe go a little bit overboard on the fanciness with javascript and flash stuff flying around. That has 2 negative effects. One is that its actually harder for users, it might slow down your computer, you might be on iphone or some other device that cant deal with the really fancy stuff
And it does make it somewhat harder for our search engine to parse through all the stuff to find out whats the real information on the site. I would kind of just try to discourage people. Use new technologies when it really makes sense and there is some really really good reason for it. We do that for example with maps with fancy javascript, but only if there is a very good reason. Try to keep things as simple as possible.
