Eight inspirational interactive HTML5 sites

Posted on

Last week’s post about NFB’s Flash site Pine Point brought up a good bit of discussion about the limitations (and some might argue abuse) of Flash. I’d say 99% of programmers hate the ongoing war between HTML5 and Flash because the two are not direct substitutes, but it is important that we all have a solid understanding of the capabilities and current limitations of HTML5. So, please note that this is not a Flash-bashing post but rather a dosage of inspiration for the HTML5 lovers out there and those curious as to what all the hype is about.
