FlashApe

This post at FlashCanon and this article at designtechnica about 2006’s best of web 2.0 (wow best of 2006 already…its friggin february!) had me all set to write up a “Where are all the RIAs?” post…point being the sexy AJAX apps seem to be getting all the press and visibilty, and maybe rightly so. Then I read this comment on the post at FlashCanon by Keith Peters that put it all in perspective:

I don’t really worry too much about the anti-flash crowd. There is more than enough work out there to keep any decent Flash developer busy 80+ hours per week, and it only seems to be increasing. So they can howl about how horrible Flash is while I’m going to the bank to deposit my checks.

well said. After thinking about it some more, I can only reasonably assume that once Flex really breaks through, which it will, then we will start see more and more serious RIA’s out there.
