And if a flash based word processor is so inferior, how come Adobe bought it? Adobe buys Web word processor Buzzword - CNET News.com |
Yes, and how many flops has Microsoft produced from companies they've bought? You must not meet very many people, according to the stats on the Flashblock plugin here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433 more than
140,000 people download this plugin every week! More than 2.7 million total downloads. That's a lot of people!!! I don't think there are 140k seos out there, maybe 40k. Are you sure you want to eliminate that many people because you want a pretty navigation widget in flash? Again,
flash has its purpose, if I want to develop an application that is graphics intensive (a game, streaming multimedia etc) but its really really annoying when its used for just about anything else
TO me. I also like how the article that you point to as saying 98% of computers have flash gives
no proof or
source for this number. They don't say Adobe claims it, they don't point to a survey or anything which makes me think they pulled the number out of someones ASS.
