Flash is now searchable!

This is probably the biggest news I have heard today. Adobe just come up with a way to make Flash website indexable by search engine.  full story at Adobe
I’m not sure how it will impact my job, but I’m sure that it will completely change my approach on creating a website.
I always dislike a website that uses Flash as a main element/engine for many reasons. Search engine can’t see it is one of the reasons. But now that curse is lifted. wow… I’m not sure what to do with this new information now.

Becoming visible is one thing, actually ranking highly is another. Google currently can find about 73 million Flash files on the Web. But until Adobe makes it easy for the average Webmaster or blogger to link deeply into those Flash files, they are not likely to appear at the top of many search results. - Techcrunch

I don’t deny that I’m a bit relieve that there are still reasons not to use Flash.
