New RIA Prospects

    Interesting news was published yesterday on the Adobe website. The brief point is that Adobe, together with Google and Yahoo! begin to work on improving search algorithms in the content contained in swf files. Those. there is a high probability that the flash / flex site will be indexed by the search engine similarly to regular web pages - then there will be no need for duplication and optimization of text information outside the application.

    IMHO: on the one hand, this is great - one of the most nasty problems of the RIA will cease to be such, it will be safe to create entire portals on flash (hi top4top). On the other hand, embedding SEO content in a flash application so that the user does not even guess about his presence is much easier than using html. And like all search technologies, this one at the initial stage will have a lot of workarounds to increase the ranking in search results. Of course, technology will be refined over time, but this time can be used for your own selfish purposes. The result of these actions may be the distrust of ordinary users to RIA-sites.

    What do you think of this?
