Why I (Still) Think Silverlight Should Fail

A while back, I wrote a small article about why I felt Silverlight should fail. The writeup generated a lot of good conversation and a bit of ire from Silverlight supporters (such as this example) so I thought it would be beneficial to write a followup. Let me try to make this clear, I am not a Flash fanboy. While I use Flash to pay the bills, I have written about my concerns with Flash. It is my belief that use of Flash on the web (and other RIA technologies) will continue to dwindle as open-source solutions that provide similar solutions take their place. Even if Silverlight usurps Flash (something I greatly doubt), there may not be much of a kingdom to reign upon once they do. I think Adobe sees this shift, I am unsure if Microsoft does.

Quick question for the audience: How Long is your loading time for this site?

Posted on 29 January, 2007 at 12:06pm with 8 comments

Hi guys, I wanted to get a little feedback from you if you would not mind. I am starting to notice some slightly bloated load times on this site every now and then. I am in the process of planning a cleanup phase for this site, but before I move forward I would love to get any feedback on how long the site takes to load for you on average. I am beginning to plan how I can pluck out pieces of HTML/Javascript throughout the site, but if load times are far worse than I currently think, I will begin reevaluating the current structure of the site.

Please, if you do not mind, take the time to let me know how your loading experience is for this site. I really want to make coming to Some Random Dude as enjoyable as possible. Waiting 8 seconds to have the page load is not what I would consider acceptable… Thanks ahead of time.
