Flash Me! Flash You!

When we launched WatchMojo.com, we decided to go with Adobe’s Macromedia’s Flash Video.  Doing so meant more work, but sometimes you go with your gut.

This was January 2006, YouTube was about 7 months old, there was, in other words, no guarantee or real reason to think at the time that flash would prevail.  All to say, over time flash video became the closest thing to a market standard online.

In terms of wireless video content, that was another story.

Some unrelated, then Disney bought out Pixar, and Steve Jobs sat on Disney’s board.  Disney’s ABC launched its online video forays and employed flash, instead of Apple’s video standard, which said a lot about the future ubiquity of flash video.

Today Adobe announced that flash will support video for mobile handsets.  Adobe - a stock I used to own and then decided to sell when it hit my target - just positioned itself to grow some more in the burgeoning wireless space, which I analysed in depth here.

Yeah, sometimes Mondays are a great way to start the week.
