I’m one of those people that’s hated Flash since day one—my main complaint being that the content couldn’t be properly indexed and so outside of showcasing art and/or a developer’s talent, Flash had no place driving the content of a web site.
With help from Adobe, Google is launching “a deep algorithmic” change that will allow them to spider and index the Flash content. Adobe has provided similar assistance to Yahoo! but they haven’t made announcements yet.
I wonder how the team in Redmond feels about this and its impact on Silverlight.
