“It’s not enough to use different browsers (or even BrowserCam) to check your site’s appearance. Back in May, I featured a company called Blackbaud, who makes software for non-profits.

Of late, they are usually created in Macromedia Flash or Macromedia Director. Since the practice is new, different names are used to describe it — ‘Flash Infographics,’ ‘Motion Graphics,’ and ‘Interaction Graphics’ are some we’ve come across. We like ‘Interactives’ because it embodies interaction — the building block of the Web — and thus does not bring across any preconceived notions from the print world.”
