Microcontent Client

In a true Indian spirit, and of course of personal attitudal problems, this blog is getting frequented less frequently. The idea is to write not all i read or write, but to present a true, honest and passionate things around me, that inspires, introduces and informs me. I havent' read much in the last 2 months and also, nothing ground breaking has happened until i read this post on Anil's page referred via adaptivepath via Shaun via CSS Vault


Anil talks about a new emerging medium of communication along with the traditional way of looking at information which we access via web. Though this is in the ideation stage of development, unlike other stuff which is available, this is one strong idea, which can be a potential social changer in the days to come. magazine: Introducing the Microcontent Client - Worth a read

Will macromedia take over the PDF Dome?

I know it is ubiquitious as a file format worldwide for digital content distribution. I am talking about .pdf and acrobat reader from Adobe. Sometime back MM bundled a small program with their Contribute 2 Edtion called flash paper. Although, the popularity & usage of this program is handful, [tht' wht i thought initially], some of the fellows are serious in using this stuff.

Going thru the flex's blog I read a post on how people are slowly can adopt to this. Read this testing report...

Excerpts from the report:

Our first impression is that this is an interesting program, adding document support to the popular Flash program, and well worth watching.

Benefits

* FlashPaper works with any printable document so Web site visitors can display them using the Flash viewer without having to own the original program.,
* FlashPaper documents open instantly within Web pages, providing a seamless way to display documents as an intrinsic part of a Web page.
* The initial display is very fast, with little program or document load time.
* A minimal user interface avoids screen clutter, while putting zoom, page and print controls in easy reach
