I was a beta tester for modders development for Wallop. It has some good
design features. Interesting animations for menu and useful options. Modders
creation and market is interesting as concept. But it's still too ambitious
to do a flash browser in a browser, and also not that clever maybe.
People now copy and paste html code from different websites to their blogs
(from youtube for instance). Geeks look the source page to save assets or
right click on images. Too many limitations to make it a success.
I still think that hybrid website are still a good compromise. Flickr is a
good example.

We just finished version 1 of a 100% Flash-based social-networking site.
The
site was built for a brand (dr. pepper), with teenagers in mind, so things
like chat have been left out on purpose (legal) for now.

I am hoping we will go through another round or two of development, as
this
version was rushed and we had some great ideas to allow users to customize
the content more. I still have lots of refactoring that needs to happen
still too.
Whether it will be successful is a good question. They are going to seed
content soon through a university contest, then they will launch it to the
world via ad campaigns and printing on the bottles.
Thanks,
Steve

Subject: [osflash] Why Flash?
The other day, I was talking about social networking
sites with a friend, I defended Flash as the right
solution claiming it has far more visual capabilities
than a site operating on CSS or HTML, His question in
response to my Flash bias left me stumped for an
answer.
He said, "Most successful sites are done with a mix of
Flash and HTML such as YouTube, MySpace, etc. What
successful networking sites have been produced all in
Flash, if any?"
I couldn't answer my friend's question, but from a
historical standpoint, this is a valid question and
would be interesting to discuss. Any answers out
there?
Thanks.
