After years of waiting, Google officially announced yesterday that it has developed a way to search and index websites built with Flash. For those of us (uh hem, like Album) that have relied on Flash as an integral part of our sites, we will finally enjoy an increase in traffic and ranking. Ironically, Album will be launching a new site soon that will use very little or no Flash content at all. I guess you could say we are a bunch of against-the-grain trendsetters. Or not.
