Flash Content Now Searchable by Google and Yahoo Search
It was announced that Flash content and SWF files are now searchable by Google and Yahoo searching crawlers. This has yet to be really tested but it is good news that flash sites with textual content will be able to be searched like normal websites. This knocks down a bit the “black box” approach to […]

EffectiveUI and Discovery Channel win a Stevie
EffectiveUI and Discovery Channel won an Stevie Award for "best web, software or programming design" for Discovery Earth Live. The award was actually listed for Interface Design.Congratulations to the entire design team who contributed to this project, including Patrick Hansen, Bobby Jamison, and Jeremy Gratson. Congratulations are also due to our development team, which consisted of Brad Umbaugh, Kevin Skrenes, and myself. Discovery Earth Live was a great example of the sort of designer/developer collobration I was talking about yesterday: our designers made some initial mock-ups, but the entire design changed several times during development. Design and Dev worked very

How Our Special Flash Player for Google and Yahoo Actually Works
I told everyone that our community was smart and that they’d figure out how the our search engine Flash Player works. It looks like Doug McCune was first. Thank to Ben Stucki for the link. And you wonder why Ted wanted to get promoted.

FlashLite Ported to the iPhone? Sort of.
David from AgencyNet sent me this link this morning which describes FlashLite being ported to the iPhone. It actually sits on top of something called EyeGT technology. It seems too good to be true (and it sort of is). Our community picked it up yesterday including Scott Janousek who notes “These products merely take the […]

Well, at least I didn’t have to wonder for too long…
…about google searching swfs. In my post yesterday I said I was skeptical, and looks like I was correct in my reasoning. Looks like I completely overlooked one major point of the announcement: 2. We currently do not attach content from external resources that are loaded by your Flash files. If your Flash file […]

The Love/Hate Relationship with Twitter
I love Twitter. Some people don’t get it, but once you get hooked, you can’t live without it. I hate Twitter. It’s down half the time. You get me hooked and then, just when I need a fix, you’re gone. I just got onto the private beta of TweetDeck, installed it, gave it my username and password, […]

How Adobe’s special search indexing Flash Player works
So Adobe created a special version of Flash player for Google and Yahoo to index SWF files. This basically goes through your SWF and magically figures out what to click on and how to interact with your application, just like a real person would do. How does it do it? Here’s what I think is […]

An Introduction to Writing Unit Tests (with CFUnit)
In our last user’s group meeting, we had a round table discussion about testing. I said that I would put together a simple example of a unit test. Since I have been using CFUnit so far (MXUnit looks attractive as well though), that is what I will … [More]
