The Flash Intro/Splash Page is Dead

Flash intros/splash pages are those annoying, meaningless "branding" strategies many companies and some higher ed sites have put in place before entering their site. They were more frequent five years ago, and have since trailed away. Unfortunately, many graphic designers still cling to them as a requirement (most likely it is a staple in their portfolio).

As if usability, multiple entry points to your site, and the lack of content wasn't enough to get rid of these web annoyances, Google is now offering a way to skip these splash screens from their search results by including a "skip intro" link next to the indexed sites.
