[osflash] Why Flash?

[Christian Giordano]

I was a beta tester for modders development for Wallop. It has some good
design features. Interesting animations for menu and useful options. Modders
creation and market is interesting as concept. But it's still too ambitious
to do a flash browser in a browser, and also not that clever maybe.
People now copy and paste html code from different websites to their blogs
(from youtube for instance). Geeks look the source page to save assets or
right click on images. Too many limitations to make it a success.

I still think that hybrid website are still a good compromise. Flickr is a
good example.
