Flash is the new publishing tool of the century

“Flash is the new publishing tool of the century”, that’s the tagline for a recently published article at UK newspaper The Guardian. The article focuses on the views of Mark Anders, Senior Principal Scientist at Adobe and the guy in charge of building the future of the Flash authoring tool.

How has Flash thrived? “It’s a combination of broadband and in the number of people being comfortable with it,” says Anders. Flash is the new publishing tool of the century, he argues: “We have let more people publish - whether it’s blogging or having a MySpace page, or uploading to YouTube.”

Bold statements, but true.

The article also delves into Apollo references and Flash Lite references, but I think the big thing to take away from it is that Adobe is not forgetting that an easy but powerful authoring tool is just as important as getting the player on as many computing devices as possible.
