Just saw this over at Ted Patrick's blog. Looks like Adobe is going to work with Google and Yahoo to allow spiders to crawl Flash SWF content. This is big time if indeed true. A big client objection to full Flash sites is going out the window. I assume the spiders are looking strictly at text fields and not source. Anyone know definitively?
I'm famous! I made it to the front page of macosxhints! OK, I'm not famous, but I did submit a hint MOH's editors thought worthy of publishing. My hint details how to "correctly" setup IMAP Gmail in Mail.app.

Lost in the shuffle of Microsoft's acquisition of aQuantive, is Avenue A | Razorfish. As the largest interactive agency in the world, Razorfish carries an immense amount of clout in the industry. Does anyone think for a second that the $6 billion purchase price didn't include Razorfish's army of developers converting to Silverlight for development of their RIAs? I suspect this purchase was as much about establishing a credible channel of Silverlight developers and evangelists as it was to answer Google's purchase of DoubleClick. While I still believe Flash and Flex will be the RIA and interactive development platform of choice, Microsoft certainly can't be accused of not trying.
