Flash search engine crawlable
Check it out here in the Adobe press release: Adobe makes Flash crawlab;e
This is a great step, and really encouraging to see. Between this and the work being done with google analytics etc flash is becoming more and more viable for content delivery on the web.
One thing that irritates me though is the uninformed attitude about flash. I used to be in complete agreeance that flash should be removed from the web – when it was nothing more than annoying intros to websites when we were all on dialup. With the work that’s happened in the last couple of years flash is an amazing platform that is now being tailored to do the things actionscript geniuses were finding hacks for years ago – and it’s a wonderful platform for application development. Read the comments at slashdot on this story though and it gets a little frustrating. Yes there are still muppets building useless things in flash and not using it well but how is that different from any other technology? I’m of the belief that flash has made serious inroads in the developer’s mind, I’m just looking forward to when the public start seeing actual flash applications and judicious use of flash in websites as a good thing.
… beats the hell out of javascript.
