Web Design & Usability

     The podcast featuring Luke Wroblewski hit home on something that I think about often...here is a quote that I find myself asking often: "technically we could do that, but is it the right thing?".  Just because something is possible, does it make since?  I have recently been developing Adobe Flex/Flash user interfaces that interact with java web services replacing Green Screen technology (I use technology loosely here).  In many case I find that we are building very complex UI's that with all of the bells and whistles just because we can.  I think the podcast made a great point of making sure there is business value in the technology that you are providing.
