SOFA - Search Optimized Flash Architecture
Creating a Searchable Flash Rich Internet Application

Because Flash Web sites cannot be fully indexed by search sites such as Google and Yahoo, they can present challenges to accessibility. As a corrective, develop the Flash Web site as a Flash application that receives its content from traditional XHTML.

We have been implementing Search Optimized Flash Architecture (SOFA) for our clients providing a solution to this challenge. With SOFA, the Flash Web site can be indexed by search sites and can support both accessibility standards and users without Flash.

With the breadth of options and the playing field changing so quickly, it is increasingly difficult for content creators and marketers to identify the right outlets to realize the enormous potential of online video.

Innovation Isn't a Clean Sport

We deal with interactive video, mobile, gaming, virtual worlds, digital signage and the like. This stuff is messy. It's frustrating. It's ugly, devoid of standards and rife with pitfalls. In many cases, the audiences you wind up reaching just aren't all that big yet. But it's also incredibly rewarding. We must all be willing to jump in and get dirty. This requires a shift in the way we evaluate media and, more broadly, risk.

But how do you get started in a smart way? Here are a few basic best practices for navigating these emerging platforms...

Smart Growth in an Era of Digital Disruption

Social media and the attendant shift towards transparency have connected and empowered consumers like never before. Sites like Digg, LinkedIn, and TripAdvisor, in addition to the rapidly expanding blogosphere, have given consumers the power of influence.

In this era of authority-shifting and time-shifting, how are companies realizing return on such investments? Amid this dynamic and supercharged environment of new technologies and behaviors around media creation and consumption, how do marketers measure the relative merits and drawbacks of individual channels and technologies with an eye toward separating hype from reality and sound investment opportunities from risk without reward?

    Hi David,
    I'd love to read the longer articles linked to from the AA-RF newsletter, but they bring me to an Exchange login screen. Are the links broken, or are they not accessible by the public?

    Thanks!

    Online Video Roadmap Part I: Moving Beyond YouTube ... did not seem to address the issue we at www.burningshorts.com are all about: quality content in online video distilled from the raw and the unfiltered Goo-Tube and Siblings. 98% of online video seems to consist of the three following groups: 1. the Theater of Idiocy and Pain; 2. The Promise of Porn [but not such actual content]; 3. Other clips of interest ... Paris leaving LA County Jail.
    Burning Shorts and we hope others to follow or you may know are about that 2% within which there is some great video work by hugely talented artists who can warp speed past the Old Hollywood years of delay.
    What do you think?
