I really like Top Buzz's micro-sites for events/music/etc, and his banner ads, which without flash wouldn't be anywhere near as good.

Feel free to use flash on any website you choose, but don't harp on about it being a great development decision and an excellent execution of the flash player technology when all you have used is a fade in effect which could be done using JS on an xhtml/css site.

Back on topic.

I wonder if this will now allow for lyrics to be added to music players, or subtitles added to video players, so these players can easily be found by search engines based on their actual content.
