Comment Is this a good thing? (Score 1) 232

I would have to say I'm less than excited about the idea of having flash content search engine indexable. That's not to say that I'm against flash. I love it. I use it in elements on pages all the time, and the idea of indexing is obviously a good idea in itself, but the problem is that with the rise of a new technology comes millions of bottom feeding SOBs just dieing to manipulate it for personal gain and make the internet an altogether less pleasant experience. From the Adobe SWF spec document it seems the only way they'll be indexed is by using title and keyword attributes, which used to be all the rage in web pages but were inherrantly inaccurate because people could write whatever they want in there without it matching the content. And with the millions of bottom feeders out there whose sole purpose is to lure us to useless unrelated pages or link farms to drive up their CPM's, I think the one thing that could make the situation worse is if those same pages could be all flash.
