Current Event 2

Only as of recently, Macromedia has teamed up with a digital broadcasting solutions leader of the market today, VitalStream, Inc. What this does for flash is it allows the company to deliver quick video-enabled flash content all over computers that support flash and that being over 600 million computers today with flash being installed. The partnership will allow companies to have high-quality, reliable, on-demand video in the fastest possible time without having to install and maintain streaming video servers. VitalStream also quotes “by working with macromedia, we are providing the infrastructure for companies to reliably deliver great user experiences that can scale to meet the needs of any size deployment.” Which brings up a good point of just being another support of an infustructure.
I think in general this is a great idea to help eliminate those messy Video streaming servers and allow people to come up with new and exciting ideas. Somewhat like what the Sundance film festival which is going to use this new service provided by VitalStream to their web site to provide a new and creative experience for the visitors of the site.
