This is pretty big news for the world wide web. Flash content is now going to be indexed by your favorite search engines. That’s a pretty huge coup for Adobe’s ubiquitous Flash platform. I had never thought about the fact that Flash-based applications aren’t exactly searchable as they are compiled files that playback in a browser plugin like a media file might. But apparently the big engines have already been able to crawl the static text in Flash movies and now are going to be able to use a customized version of the Flash player to “interact” with most any Flash-based web application and, all-the-while, glean information from it for you eventual perusal.

Very cool.
