Submitter’s comments: Zolve.com zucks. This site was written about in the Denver Post, so off I went to look at it.
Imagine my frustration when I could not figure out how to shut the (pejorative term deleted) up.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: The site was profiled in TechCrunch. I’d like to Tour Zolve, but I can’t. I think that the woman only shows up once in Internet Explorer — I’m assuming that’s because of cookies — but shows up more often in Firefox. Still, there’s no way to stop her in mid spiel.
Actually, I just made the woman show up by clicking on an arrow at the bottom left of the screen. Still, this is a lot better than most Flash sites where the woman would show up every time you went to the home page.
According to the Charles Web Debugging Proxy, a really hot, hot tool I just discovered, the home page is 2.6MB, with the Flash woman taking up 1.8Mb of that total.
