MTV launches new site - drops flash site after only 9 months

MTV has dropped its flash website - which launched 9 months ago - in favour of a new XHTML site - stating that speed and overall user experience were key factors.

The MTV labs blog (worth a read) shows an interesting insight into why they chose to make this change so quickly and user feedback that led them to it.

Interestingly, on the MTV blog post there now seems to some backlash from those who liked the flash site.

Saw this news posted on UX mag site where there is a discussion forming.
