Google & Flash
Some of you may have read the announcement not long ago that Google would now be able to index Flash files. Some said that meant HTML sites were dead and Flash would become "de rigour". Something I disagreed with for a wide variety of reasons not the least of which was a strong "wait and see" attitude towards how well Google would be able to implement indexing of Flash content.
Seems that I might have been right to be skeptical that Google would get everything in Flash, at least if you read what they have to say over on Sitepoint. http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2008/07/16/google%e2%80%99s-flash-indexing-disaster/
While it may not be quite the disaster they are painting it certainly does seem that Google was a mite premature in their implementation and documentation.
